To satisfy and delight a varied group of attendees select a variety of cheeses. Our favorite way of creating a cheese platter would be to offer a blue cheese, a soft ripened cheese, a fresh cheese, a hard cheese and a unique cheese particular to the area. The typical cheese serving at a party would be 2 oz per selection per person.
A good rule of thumb is to take the cheeses that you are serving out of refrigeration so that they may come to room temperature prior to serving.
This will take approximately 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the weight of the cheese that you are serving.
Serving Suggestions
·        Serve all soft ripened cheeses in wedges.


·        Serve fresh cheeses, like brie, in the entire form and spread on bread or crackers.


·        Semi-soft cheese should be served cut into any format desired.


·        Semi-hard cheese should be cut into wedges or cubes that expose the cheese to air.


·        Hard cheese should be served in large chunks Blue cheese should be served in chunks created by a knife.
