The key to a winning cheese board is the right combo of components. This time of year, you can wow your guests with exclusive seasonal offerings like Chocolate Blue Cheese or Gruyère d'Alpage! First, start with texture and aim for a mix of firm, semi-firm, and soft cheeses. Try a blend of cow, sheep, and goat milk cheeses. Then, start to pair. Charcuterie, seasonal fruit, nuts, and preserves all help balance the full fat of the cheese and elevate the flavors. For some crunch, add locally-made crackers and breads. Tip: 2-3 ounces of cheese per person is just about right!
