Instructions
Place the cheese on a platter or board, starting with the larger pieces of cheese. Leave enough room between each type of cheese for easy access.
Choose a variety of nuts, fruits, sweets, or other accompaniments to pair with the cheeses. Arrange them around the cheese with crackers or bread slices in a separate bowl or basket to the side.
Use small signs or labels on toothpicks to label each cheese (optional).
Serve right away and enjoy the different flavor combinations.
Notes
*The nutritional values are approximate and are for the cheese only. Actual amounts will vary depending on the types of cheese used.
To save time, you can slice or crumble the cheese in advance and keep them refrigerated in sealed storage bags or airtight containers.
Typically cheese is served at room temperature for a cheese platter, so take the cheese out of the fridge 30 minutes to 1 hour before you're ready to enjoy.
Plan to serve each person 2-3 ounces of cheese when making a smaller cheese platter and 4-5 ounces for a larger platter.
To store: If you have leftovers, place each individual cheese into an airtight container or sealed storage bag in the fridge. Reference the expiration dates on the packages for each variety of cheese for how long they will last.
