In any celebration, the classic cheese board cannot be missing. A perfect place for all lovers of this dairy, and a meeting place for those attending your party. Most of the guests will stop by, so take note of how you should do it so that your cheese board is perfect.
Variety
The first aspect to take into account is variety. There should be three options, one blue cheese, one hard and one soft. But you should not only pay attention to these varieties, but it is also important that the type of milk it is made from, you have to have sheep, goat and cow cheese. Getting a mix of textures for your guests to enjoy will be the key for variety to succeed.
A different cheese
To complete the variety of flavors and textures that you will have arranged on your table, do not forget to add an extra cheese that will attract the attention of palates. Experts recommend that it be either a classic or a complete novelty. For example, Parmesan or Rogue River Blue, respectively.
Don’t forget the seasonal cheeses
At the beginning of the year, experts recommend that it is the best time to offer ‘tortas‘ from Extremadura or Zamora and French blue cheese. During Spring, you can’t miss French Comté cheese and cured Manchego cheese. For Summer, an Andalusian cheese such as payoyo, Gruyere or fresh cheese from Ávila. In Autumn, one of the cheeses that should really only be consumed on that date is produced: Mont D’Or, which is only produced until September. And at the end of the year: an Idiazabal or an English Stilton.
The companion
A good cheese board doesn’t just come with cheeses. You need good bread, seasonal fruit or honey. For the Autumn that we are entering, a mixture that experts highlight is ripe pear with Parmesan cheese.
