- Pair cheeses with complementary accompaniments: Serve hard cheeses with crackers or sliced bread, soft cheeses with fruit or nuts, and spreadable cheeses with crostini or bagel chips.
- Arrange the cheese platter attractively: Place the cheeses in different areas of the platter, leaving space for the accompaniments. Use small bowls or ramekins for soft cheeses and spreadable cheeses.
- Add some decorative touches: Garnish the platter with fresh herbs, edible flowers, or citrus slices to add color and visual appeal.
- Serve the cheese platter at room temperature: This will allow the flavors of the cheese to fully develop. If you're serving cold cheese, let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving.
