Put your favorite cheese on a cheese board (link). Or, if you want to really show off the flavors of all that beautiful charcuterie and preserves — put some onto an eye-catching board!
Choosing Cheese
When thinking about the perfect cheese board, it’s important to consider what each type of dairy product can contribute. A mild-flavored variety ensures that there are plenty in your taste buds’ arsenal for every occasion while still providing an option if something stronger or more unusual is desired – just don’t forget these key players!
The robust kind will offer even greater depth with its deeper flavor notes; use them as sparingly because their kick might be too much at times but great when paired up nicely next door neighbor style (I mean close enough!)
And finally… considerations need made towards those who want something less intense yet somehow equally satisfying: go ahead and try out some cheeses designed specifically for salad dressings..
It is important to have mild cheeses like Colby, Havarti or butterkase in your fridge because they appeal not only children but adults as well. These types of cheese typically come with a soft creamy texture and delicious milk flavors that everyone will love.
The best way to make your cheese board truly unique is by including more flavorful cheeses. I like using cheddar, hard Italian types such as parmesan or alpine styleSwiss (a favorite of mine). Each has their own distinct but approachable flavors that will go well on any dish you put them in!
In order to broaden guests’ horizons and excite the foodies, we like to round out cheeses on a board with something unusual. A bloomy rind cheese will do just fine like brie or you can also select creamy blue based around its tangy flavor for those looking forward an extra burst of excitement in their dish!
Prepare a Cheese Board
I always keep a few things in mind when prepping for my board. First, to help me get everything picture perfect and make cutting hard or crumbly cheeses easier on myself (and you!), I like putting softer cheeses near colder items so they don’t smudge as easily during slicing—especially if those choices are higher quality! Plus it’ll be much quicker than letting hot milk sit out before using since nothing wants curdle faster then an evaporated fat-soaked piece of plankton…
When cutting and preparing cheeses, I always work “off board” at a station to ensure that everything is prepped beforehand. This usually entails using my everyday cutting boards as well as sturdy kitchen knives for each type of cheese being made—this way there’s no risk involved when it comes time-to dish up your delicious treat!
I also think about how you’re going cut/slice etc., have planned ahead in mind before starting prep…this means ensuring every piece has its own unique shape so they can be easily distinguishes from one another even if resembles something else entirely.
Accompaniments
The wonderful thing about pairing cheese with other foods is that it complements nearly any dish. To narrow down your choices, I include something sweet to balance out the salty flavors in cheddars; crackers or bread work well for balancing tastes when you want more crunch than crumb – think fresh veggies alongside decadent Maximas (I’m looking at YOU bacon!). And don’t forget nuts: They’re perfect snacking on their own but even better after adding some extra-sharp Roquefort onto them!
In the world of cheese, bread and crackers are an essential player. They go with any type or flavor you want to add including nutty varieties like almond slices on your favorite wheels!
If you want to take your cheese board game up a notch, try adding some unique ingredients. Dried fruits and berries are an excellent alternative for sweet flavors that will last in the pantry while also looking great on top of milder cheeses such as Havarti or Buttermilk with butterkase!
Another option would be preserves which can provide intense sour taste alongside rich creamy textures when combined together – perfect paired best by robust sharper goats milk cheeses like Langelaetinan Blue.
