Choose a cheese
The best way to enjoy a variety of cheeses is by going through the different styles and flavors. So, as you can see from our list below there’s plenty for everyone! You could have some fresh soft ripened cheddar with an exotic blueborne chèvre (goat) if that sounds good; maybe try some washed rinds like Gouda or Feta before getting into hard stuff – but not too soon after eating because then it might be difficult Not sure what these things are? Why don’t I show how they’re made…
Take from 60 to 100 g cheese for every guest.
If you’re serving cheese before dinner, consider a fresh or lighter style to cut the richness of heavy duty cheeses such as cheddar.
After dinner, it’s not uncommon for people to serve cheese. There are two different ways you can go with this – either have just one rich and creamy type of dairy product such as triple-crème or full flavoured blue cheeses; Or if serving more than one kind is best suited then try mixing them up so everyone gets something different yet still delish!
You can serve cheese before dessert or at the end of your meal. If you are serving it to guests, plate each person’s slice individually on their own dish and prepare enough for all attendees so that they will be able enjoy this traditional French savory treat with abandon!
Control cheese temperature
When you want to serve the cheese at its best, take it out of the refrigerator about an hour before. Put a damp towel over your platter and leave for two-three hours so that flavors can come together without drying out too much!
Take bread or crackers
Cheese is a great partner for many different types of food but it’s even better when paired with the right crackers. The key to making this culinary combination work well? Choose plain sourdough or French baguettes; try not to overdose on garlic and spice (chili peppers can be distracting) so you don’t cover up what really matters – flavor!
Cut Your Cheese
If you want to keep your platter looking good, cut the cheese in advance on a separate board (but not so far ahead that it dries out) and arrange it onto serving dish. For more impressive pieces go with wedges or strips which can be eaten straight away but if desired also add some rescued from baskets as well – just make sure they are thin enough not too spoil before being served!
