Cheeses That Please
Whatever the occasion or gathering, a cheeseboard is the ideal starter. However, most people don’t know where to begin. Try thinking of the cheeseboard as a wheel of taste—start with something creamy and end with a flavourful punch.
Try using these five must have cheeses. They’re guaranteed to bring your cheeseboard to the next level.
-
Boursin
With two flavours to choose from, this authentic soft cheese provides an irresistible creamy texture that spreads easily onto celery, crackers, or a nice crisp bagel chip.
-
Brie
A soft cow’s-milk cheese, Brie should be served at room temperature. Its rich flavour pairs perfectly with champagne, walnuts, and grapes.
-
Cheddar
Once only found in England, Cheddar is now the most widely purchased and eaten cheese. It’s a crumbly, hard cheese that works well with apples or almost anything.
-
Taleggio
An aromatic cheese like Taleggio is a great addition to your cheeseboard. While the aroma is strong, the flavour is mild with a fruity tang.
-
Blue Cheese
Sharp and salty, Blue Cheese is powerful in flavor and aroma. Try choosing one with either white wine vinegar or cider vinegar—and don’t forget the chutney.
