Cheese Platter Tips
- Be creative with the actual platter. Repurpose a wooden cutting board, a slate tile or slab of marble as a serving platter.
- One serving utensil per cheese. No “cheese” knives? Use butter knives.
- Don’t cube or pre-slice! Set cheeses out as whole pieces and encourage guests to cut into them by starting each one.
- Serve accompaniment in a small dish with a small spoon or knife. Place it right on the platter.
- Give the cheeses time to come to room temperature before eating.
What To Drink
- When serving a selection of cheeses, no single beverage will be the ultimate pairing for all of the cheeses.
- For wine, consider serving a selection or pick a wine that’s very food-friendly, like a Pinot Noir.
- For beer, choose a selection ranging from lagers to ales to IPA. Or choose one crisp lager that will complement most cheeses.
