Ingredients

375g Mainland Creamy Havarti
250g Mainland Creamy Blue
100g Pitted Green Olives
150g pepperoni
150g salami
150g proscuito
200g red grapes
100g cocktail onions
Fresh rosemary
Polystyrene cone
Brown baking paper
Tooth picks

Method

Start by wrapping your cone in brown baking paper.
Next, using a knife or cookie cutter, cut one star out of the Mainland Havarti. This will go at the top of the tree. Cut the remaining havarti and blue cheese into cubes.
To assemble the tree, use toothpicks to secure the ingredients and make spiral shapes around the tree with each ingredient to achieve the desired Christmas tree effect.
Finish the tree by placing the star on the top, and garnishing the board with fresh rosemary.
If making ahead of time, keep the ingredients fresh by wrapping the tree in wet paper towels to stop the meat drying out.
