How To Laid A Beautiful, Bountiful Cheese Board

This post service is sponsored past times Sargento.  They offered to shipping me lots of cheese to taste... who'd tell no to that?

They asked me to part my favorite of their cheeses amongst yous in addition to acquaint them amongst things that compliment their delicate/sharp/creamy flavors, so... I created a cheese board brimming amongst goodies.

I'm to a greater extent than probable to serve a platter similar this earlier a dinner political party rather than complicated hors d'oeuvres.  There are a couplet of reasons for this - I love how tardily it is, only assembling, in addition to I love how pretty in addition to bountiful a dandy cheese board looks... which is the ultimate commutation of creating a actually appetizing cheese board - bounty.



I intend nutrient looks best when it is piled together, overflowing, spilling over in addition to drizzled on top.  Bounty.  I love creating platters of whatever variety - they are the perfect agency to work something beautiful inwards a rustic in addition to wholesome manner.  And, seriously, yous can't mess them up.

Here are a couplet of my tips :

Use costless flavors in addition to textures.  I selected Sargento Tastings cheeses that expect in addition to gustatory modality different, hence paired them amongst items that convey out their natural flavors.  These pocket-size tasting sized cheeses are a prissy agency to hold upwards able to characteristic a diverseness of cheeses without a huge investment.

Stick amongst uncomplicated flavors, hence permit your guests combine cheeses amongst unlike nuts a fruits every bit they like.

Make certain all of the items on the board become together - my dominion is to operate along the costless elements consistent.  This platter is brimming amongst fruits in addition to nuts.  Notice that in that place are no olives.  For this board, I was going for a classic cheese board amongst sweetness compliments to the savory cheeses.  Olives would hold upwards a prissy improver to an Italian or Greek themed board, but would interfere here.

I started past times placing the cheese on the board, alternating their administration in addition to using diverse shapes in addition to colors. 

I tried to house costless colors in addition to flavors adjacent to each other.  This dark-green pear is a classic compliment to Age Wisconsin Cheddar.   Bunches of grapes are a dandy agency to add together pinnacle in addition to fill upwards out a cheese board - they pile beautifully.

This is the Sargento New Zealander (Egmont) cheese that is creamy in addition to precipitous at the same time. Egmont provides an interesting in addition to fun juxtaposition of sweetness in addition to nutty flavors.  To compliment the creamy cheese, I piled chopped pistachios on overstep - in addition to to operate along the color palette consistent... really of import : )

For the Aged Vermont White Cheddar, I drizzled dearest over it in addition to piled giant blackberries adjacent to it - 1 of my favorite combinations.  It is delicately ripened for 12 months inwards the lush grasslands of Vermont to convey out its unique, matured taste. The flavour tin hold upwards described every bit brothy in addition to savory amongst a firm, dry out texture.

This niggling deport upon adds hence much luxury in addition to indulgence.

I filled the board inwards amongst to a greater extent than or less crackers in addition to unshelled pistachios for extra texture.
