Incorporate Wisconsin Cheese into Your
Holiday Entertaining
The state of Wisconsin and the art of cheese making are
synonymous. During this season, pick up some Wisconsin cheese to serve at
holiday event. Here are some tips from
the Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board for cheese-course success.
Include three to five cheeses with contrasting flavors
and textures, for example, Camembert, Havarti, Aged Cheddar, Parmesan, and
Gorgonzola.
Feature “flight” or “vertical tasting” of a single cheese
variety – mild, medium, sharp and Extra-Sharp Cheddar for instance, or a
variety of blue-veined cheeses. Suggest the guests sample cheeses from mildest
to strongest.
Be sure cheeses are brought to room temperature before
serving.
For small, informal groups, allow guest to cut directly
from cheese wedges or chunks presented on a wood cheese board or tray.
For larger groups, serve cheese cubes that have been cut
ahead of time. Include larger chunks or
wheels of the featured cheeses to create an impressive display.
