Most of the ingredients for cheese boards can be prepped ahead and stored in the refrigerator until you are ready to arrange the board. For example, cheese can be sliced and chestnuts can be roasted in advance. Many of the ingredients for this cheese board are preserved and ready to eat, so they don't require much preparation. You can arrange the platter 2-3 hours in advance, cover it, and store in the fridge until ready to serve. We recommend arranging the ingredients right before serving to keep it as fresh as possible.
