serving board

Charcuterie display surface

A serving board is a flat piece of wood, slate, or other material used to present food at the table.

Unlike cutting boards, serving boards are chosen for appearance—often featuring natural wood grain, handles, or decorative edges.

They're popular for cheese, charcuterie, bread, or appetizers: She arranged the cheeses on a wooden serving board.
