    How to create a cheese platter.

    Cheese platters or cheese boards are becoming widely popular these days. They are great as a party centerpiece or perfect for events. Different types of cheese can be perfectly paired with sweet fruits, crispy crackers, and delicious dips – the opportunities are endless! Here is how I create a cheese platter.

    It is important to understand what type of cheese you want to include, and more important to include pairing accompaniments with the cheese. Most cheese can be categorised into soft, firm, aged and blue. A great cheese platter would have at least one of each category. The accompaniments can change the flavour of the cheese. Choosing the right accompaniments can make or break the cheese platter. Plain bread sticks, crackers and mini toasts are great for pairing. Fresh fruits are an important part of the cheese platter too.

    In the cheese platter here, I have used seven types of cheese: Blue Vein, Havarti, Edam, Gouda, Brie, Chèvre (Goat’s cheese), and a specialty Cheddar (smoked roasted onion & chive). Along with a variety of crackers, fruits, dry fruits, I have also included homemade fresh pesto (cashew and tomato) as accompanying dips. I have not used any cold cut meat in this platter. You may choose to include them if you prefer.

    HERE IS THE PAIRING I HAVE DONE FOR THESE CHEESE TYPES:

    Blue vein cheese: plain cracker, grapes, green apple, pear, dates, black olives, tomatoes

    Havarti: crackers, green apple, pear, dates, almonds

    Edam: mini toasts, pear, apricots

    Gouda: bread sticks, strawberries, blueberries, grapes, almonds, pistachio

    Brie: mini toasts, cracker, bread sticks, green apple, pear, grapes, apricots, almonds

    Chèvre: strawberries, blue berries, grapes, apricots, dates, almonds

    Cheddar: crackers, green apple, pear, grapes, tomatoes

    Next time you are hosting a party, include a cheese platter and wow your guests! Say Cheese!!
