Are you entertaining and want to make a big impression? There's no better showstopper than a beautiful cheese platter. Here are a few simple ideas to help you navigate the many options and put together an accolade-worthy spread.
Always make cheese the centerpiece of your platter! Choose two to three kinds with different textures and tastes, for ex:
- Fresh Goat Cheese.
- Blue Cheese.
- Cheddar.
- Fresh Ricotta.
- Fontina.
- Parmesan.
- Affidelice.
Here are a few guidelines on what to include in your platter:
Cheese
Try to include a variety of textures and flavors.
Cured meat
Choose a variety of cured meats to go with your cheeses. Crowd favorites are proscuitto, jamon serrano, salami, and pepperoni. Arrange them in neatly folded rows for easy snacking.
Sweet spreads
Pepper in a small bottle of jam and several spoonfuls of honey to complement the strong cheeses and salty meats.
Dried fruits, nuts, and pickles
These extra ingredients can round out your whole board in terms of flavor and texture.
Crackers and bread
Carbs carry your precious cheeses and meats, so present several options. Crusty baguette slices and wheat crackers are no-fail cheese and meat carriers.
Cheese platter not only embodies the perfect array of cheeses but also
showcases your personal taste and style.
