His festive cheese board boasts not only nuts and mandarins, but also Emmentaler AOP, tasty salami and a bushy beard made from radishes. And best of all, you can enjoy these snacks without needing to recite a poem first.<\/p>\n<p>Take a round wooden board and a flat piece of Emmentaler AOP. Cut the cheese into small squares and place them in the middle of the board in a mosaic pattern \u2013 this will become Santa\u2019s face. Two long pieces of cheese make a good moustache, while a halved cherry tomato serves as his nose and two dollops of mayonnaise, each with a peppercorn on top, as his eyes. Radishes can be used to create Santa\u2019s eyebrows and hairline \u2013 and before you know it, a friendly face will be looking back at you.<\/p>\n<p>For the pointed red hat, place a triangle made of thin slices of salami atop Santa\u2019s head. His white beard comes courtesy of thinly sliced radishes, and because it\u2019s cold outside, Santa has red cheeks \u2013 thanks to two dried cranberries.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, place crackers, nuts, mandarin segments, dried apricots and cherry tomatoes around the face and decorate it with fresh watercress. Santa is ready to eat \u2013 what a successful start to Advent!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-142647 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.emmentaler.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/EMMENTALER_SANTA-3_small-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.emmentaler.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/EMMENTALER_SANTA-3_small-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.emmentaler.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/EMMENTALER_SANTA-3_small-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.emmentaler.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/EMMENTALER_SANTA-3_small-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.emmentaler.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/EMMENTALER_SANTA-3_small-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.emmentaler.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/EMMENTALER_SANTA-3_small.jpg 1651w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Did you know that Santa Claus goes mad for cheese?
