“Cheese is a combination of
man's ingenuity and milk - one of nature's finest miracles and comes in a
myriad of shapes, tastes and sizes that when carefully chosen can appeal even
to the most sceptical and hard to please. The cheeseboard is also perfect for
unexpected guests, in between snacks and a chance to sit back and relax after
the chaos of present opening and before the mammoth task of washing up!
Don’t serve too much however
it is more an excuse to finish off the red wine or open another or maybe even a
sweet wine or Port to go with the blues or strong, hard cheeses. Hold a
couple of small cheeses back to mix with the less elegant leftovers and don’t
insisted on buying a cheese if it isn’t ripe or you can’t find it – if you
can’t find the one you love, love the one you find!
For the perfect Christmas
cheeseboard use the 7 different types as a guide and just remember cut them
correctly, savour them worshipfully, wrap them lovingly and store them
carefully”
