Recipe Tips
- Cheese Tip
For best flavor, let the cheeses sit for about 15 min. at room temperature before serving. If serving a wedge or whole piece of cheese, be sure to place a knife on the board for each variety of cheese you are serving. - Make it Easy
A small cheese board such as this one is a good way to use up those small left-over pieces of cheese or few slices of meat that you already have on hand. Keep it simple. Mix and match cheeses, meats and dip. Try Brie or Gouda cheese. Depending on your family's preferences, feel free to substitute their favorite fresh fruits and cut-up fresh vegetables for any of the suggested ingredients,
