Creating the Perfect Cheeseboard
Wow your guests this holiday season with an easy-to-assemble cheeseboard. First, choose several cheeses from soft to hard with a variety of sizes, shapes and textures. Here are some suggestions of varieties to select:
fresh and soft cheeses: Brie, Camembert, chèvre, mozzarella
semi-soft cheeses: Edam, fontina, Raclette
hard cheeses: Cheddar, Gruyère, Manchego, Parmigiano-Reggiano
blue cheeses: gorgonzola, Roquefort, Stilton
A rustic cutting board works well for presenting cheese along with accompaniments like:
Finally, decorate your board to celebrate the season using natural items such as fresh herbs, chestnuts or leaves. Since cheese is best served at room temperature, you can assemble the cheeses on your board in advance and refrigerate, then remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before serving. Add any accompaniments just before serving.
In the states, cheese is typically served as an appetizer; however, it’s customary in many European countries to serve cheese between the entrée and dessert. Pick up your favorite red wine to be enjoyed throughout dinner and into the cheese course. Try a bottle of sweet wine to accompany both cheese and dessert to finish off your grandiose celebration.
