How to enjoy it
Peel off the skin and slice thinly. Serve on your cheeseboard with cornichons, crusty bread and a glass of red, or add our crackers and chutneys. Keep it somewhere cool and dry, and once cut, wrap it and keep it in the fridge.
We recommend the following quantities per person:
For an after dinner cheese board, 30g to 50g per cheese per person is generally enough and should not leave you with much leftover. If you are planning to have a big table and / or want some cheese to be carried over a few days ,we recommend 60 to 80g per cheese per person.
The number of cheeses is up too you (i say the more the better!) but to achieve a good selection from textures, Strenghs & different milks, 4 to 6 cheeses are recommended.
The average Cheese Weight we recommend:
2 to 4 Guests: 125 to 150g per cheese
6 to 8 Guests: 200 to 250g per Cheese
10 to 12 Guests: 300 to 350g per Cheese
14 to 16 Guests: 450 to 500g per Cheese
