Cheese

Try to choose between five and eight cheeses of differing styles. I tend to go for a mix of soft and hard, one or two blues and perhaps a goat’s cheese. Some of the world famous cheeses should always be present, but I always try to include something local as well. All cheeses should be at room temperature, so get them out well before you plan to present them. You can make up your cheeseboard and leave it wrapped with a tea towel in the pantry to save time later on.
