Cheese Selection Variety
Aim for a variety of textures (soft, semi-hard, hard) and milk types (cow, goat, sheep). Include cheeses with different flavor intensities, from mild to strong.
Serving Temperature
Serve cheese at room temperature to allow the flavors to fully develop. Take the cheese out of the refrigerator about 30-60 minutes before serving.
Wine Pairing
Pair cheeses with complementary wines. For example, soft cheeses like Brie pair well with light-bodied white wines, while hard cheeses like Cheddar pair well with full-bodied red wines. Blue cheeses often go well with sweet wines.
Accompaniments
Offer a variety of accompaniments such as crackers, bread, fruits (grapes, apples, pears), nuts, honey, and jams to complement the cheese flavors.
