Tips on Creating a Cheese Course

Select cheeses with variety and flavors that blend and
make choices that compliment one another.

Work with 3-4 cheeses.
Assemble a cheese course with cheeses from cow, goat and sheep milk cheeses.

Assemble a cheese course with cheeses from one producer, using 3 different cheeses.
Create a theme, such as California, Vermont, Mid West or Pacific North West.

Be cautious with strong cheeses, as they can over power delicate cheeses.

Add in accompaniments, such as nuts, dried fruits, compote, chutney

Serve with breads, crackers, toasted breads, sweet or savory toasts

Pair cheese courses with wines or ales.

Most of all enjoy & have fun
