Best Cheeses
Ask a Question
What are the best cheeses to put on a cheese board for a dinner party ?
One's I like and others I know are brie, camembert, stilton abd a good strong cheddar. Then crackers or biscuits, maybe grapes and some chutneys At Christmas they tend to bring out more interesting flavours of cheese and selection boxes
It depends on the tastes of the guests. I like strong cheeses, so the likes of the smelly blues and Camembert are must haves. If you like alcohol infused cheeses, the snowdonia company do a gorgeous whisky cheddar, not smelly at all
The snowdonia brand is so nice, the chilli cheese they do is nice, and a chocolate one too
I would definitely recommend having a mix as that's what makes it special to have a cheese board. I'd go cheddar, Wensleydale, Edam, Brie, Stilton and double Gloucester.
Anything other than maggot cheese. I like a strong blue cheese, extra mature Cheddar, Jarlsberg, Emmental , etc
Vintage cheddar, stilton, Wensleydale with apricot and chilli flavoured cheese with crackers and red wine we had this tonight instead of dinner, yummy.
Has anyone heard of raclette cheese? It is usually melted and poured on to new potatoes and eaten with pickles etc. You can buy a small circular raclette machine into which you slide little triangular shaped shovels which are heated until the cheese melts. It is great at dinner parties, I suppose a little like fondue. Google gives more info.
