-
Remove cheese from refrigerator one hour before serving. It always tastes best when enjoyed at room temperature.
-
Present cheese on a wooden or marble cheeseboard at your next party. It's decorative, sturdy and makes for easy cleanup.
-
Experiment when planning a cheeseboard. Include cheeses of: - different textures (ripened, soft, hard, blue) - flavors (mild, strong, sharp) - and milk types (cow, goat, sheep)
-
Try at least one cheese that is unfamiliar to you; you might discover a new favorite!
-
Use a different separate knife for each cheese so you don't mix the flavors.
-
Any cheese goes great with crusty French bread, as an alternative to crackers. Toast the bread slightly for a little crunchiness and so the cheese melts slightly.
-
When cutting cheese that comes in a wheel shape, cut from the center out like a pie.
- Don't pre-chunk or pre-cut cheese, as this dries it out.
-
When storing: wrap cheese in foil or plastic wrap and place at the bottom of the refrigerator (as far away from the cold freezer compartment as possible).
-
Use cheese within one week after opening package.
-
To prevent mold from forming, keep your refrigerator clean and cold.
