A great cheese board can include a variety of cheese types to suit different tastes and preferences. Consider the following:
Hard Cheese: aged cheddar, parmesan, pecorino
Soft Cheese: brie, camembert, goat cheese
Blue Cheese: roquefort, gorgonzola, stilton
Semi-Soft Cheese: havarti, fontina, gouda
Flavored Cheese: smoked gouda, herbed goat cheese
A cheese board can be paired with various condiments such as:
Fruits (grapes, strawberries, dried apricots, figs, etc.)
Nuts (walnuts, almonds, pecans, etc.)
Crackers, bread, or crostini
Jams, chutney, jalapeno, or honey
Pickles. peppadews or olives
Spreads (mustard, tapenade)
Dips (hummus, pesto)
The key is to have a variety of textures and flavors to complement the cheese and offer a well-rounded snack or meal.
