Yield:8 servings.

Ingredients:

Firm cheese wedge, such as Parmigiano-Reggiano.
Blue cheese wedge, such as Stilton or Gorgonzola
wedge of brie
4-ounce piece of aged cheddar or Gouda cheese
4 ounces of soft goat cheese
Sliced ​​baguette, olive bread, or cranberry-walnut bread
crackers or crusty bread
jar of honey or fruit chutney
Fresh fruits such as sliced ​​apples or pears, figs, grapes, and cherries
Handful of nuts, such as almonds or Marcona nuts.

Instructions:

  1. Remove the cheeses from the refrigerator one hour before serving. The flavors are enhanced when the cheese is not cold..
  2. Serve one ounce of each cheese per person and spread the cheese evenly on a large platter or cutting board.
  3. Place a separate knife dedicated to each cheese. Soft cheese separates well with a butter knife, while harder cheese like Parmesan will need a sharp knife.
  4. Surround the cheeses with sides like bread, crackers, honey, fruit and nuts, and let guests discover their favorite flavor combinations!
