Enjoying & Selecting Cheese
Cheese is a very personal choice. Select the cheese for your cheeseboard by its characteristic appearance, aroma and taste.
Storing Cheese
Store cheese in its own box in a fridge, separate from strong aromas.
Preparing a Cheeseboard /Serving the cheese
Select your cheese for the occasion – appetiser, desert, casual cheeseboard to share with friends or a more formal dinner party. Three to five different cheeses work well for any occasion.
Cheese platters
Are served with the cheese cut into convenient portions for an informal buffet style gathering. These are a great way to present the cheese and accompaniments.
Cheese Boards
Are larger portions of cheese presented on a board. Guests can cut the cheese themselves from the selection displayed.
Cheese Towers
Are wheels of cheese stacked. A smaller version of the Celebration Cake, this is ideal for a dinner party with a group of friends. It can be a centre piece or talking point until time to cut and serve at the end of the meal.
