How to Serve

A morsel savored by itself, served with bread, crackers and fruit, or lending a savory note to 1001 dishes, cheese can be enjoyed in a variety of ways.

When serving a variety of cheese, as a general rule you should start with milder varieties, like brie, before serving the more pungent sharps and blues. The sharper cheeses will numb your taste buds to the delicate flavors of their milder cousins.

Depending on the variety, cheese can be particularly sensitive to its environment. When serving, you should observe a few simple rules:

1. To ensure full flavor, gourmet cheese is best served at room temperature. (The harder the cheese, the longer it takes to reach room temperature.)
2. Plan on three to five ounces of cheese per guest.
3. Always arrange cheese on a flat, sturdy board instead of a dish for easy cutting. If you plan on serving different cheeses, do so on different boards to keep their aromas intact.
4. Leave unrefrigerated cheese wrapped so that it does not dry out. Unwrap just before serving and never use the same wrapping twice as it will not reseal properly.
5. Never store cheese in your freezer.
