| 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! |
