WATCH: Our Cheese Server is Unbreakable!

WATCH: Our Cheese Server is Unbreakable!

So many people fall in love with the Adagio Cheese Server material, Stratum.  It is sleek, elegant, and does not break! Stratum fuses two sustainable materials into one striking display. Black Richlite, incredibly durable and made from resin-infused paper, composes the top and bottom layer of the board. The middle is comprised of Plyboo, a sustainably constructed bamboo material that does not warp. Combined, the server is smooth to the touch, weighs approximately seven pounds, and withstands the test of time, even when smashed against a wall.
