What's on your Christmas cheeseboard?

[Sairafina]

With one week to go I am starting to curate our festive cheese selection. So far we have

Soft goats cheese with cranberries and cinnamon
Pecorino
Danish blue
Applewood smoked cheddar
Brie
A really sharp cheddar which makes your face pinch

What's on yours?!

Manchego,
Extra strong cheddar
Goats cheese
Comte
Boursin

I've ordered exactly what dp and the dc requested, plus some Brie for me:
Brie
Manchego
Applewood
Red Leicester
Roule
Stilton
A vintage Cheddar that cuts the top of your mouth
I'm going to try to get some Yarg too

I love the Austrian smoked cheese that looks like a sausage. Delish

Comte
Clava Brie
500 day aged Gouda
Whisky smoked cheddar (I think, I bought it from the cheesemonger earlier today, it’s definitely whisky smoked)
Blue Stilton

Oh and a truffle cheese

Northumbrian nettle (yum!)
Jarlsburg

I've chosen three English cheeses this year - Cornish blue (creamy, mild blue), Hereford Hop ( cheddar-y) and Elmhirst (double cream, mould ripened), accompanied by some yummy Peter's Yard sourdough crackers 😋

Yes to Peter's crackers!
Hereford Hop is nice - not had it for a long time.
Garners pickled onions, pickled shallots and red cabbage

Really boring ones because none of us like blue or stinky cheeses .

Boursin
Edam
Cranberry Wensleydale
Onion and chive double Gloucester
Red Leicester

stilton
3 yr old cornish cruncher
brie de meaux
ossau iraty (was going to get manchego but saw this and thought I'd give it a go)

also have a baked camembert planned

might get some pecorino

I hope you all enjoy yours. I would be unkind to my mum to have one (due to her medical dietary restrictions) and it will be one thing I will miss.

Godminster cheddar
Cashew blue
Gorgonzola
Camembert
Cornish Yarg
Comte
Double Gloucester
Baron Bigod
Brie
Wensleydale & Cranberry

Two or three different types of crackers and chutneys. Grapes and figs.

Probably slightly too much for two, but really hoping I’ve given birth before then so can make the most of the cheese I’ve missed!

Boursin
Cornish brie
Tickler
Capricorn goats cheese

Valencay (goat's cheese)
Brillat-Savarin (triple-cream cheese)
St Felicien (good sub for Brie!)
Fourme d'Ambert (blue)
Ossau-Iraty (Alpine, good if you like Manchego)
mayyyybe some Epoisses (but not for me, too stinky : )

We normally eat mostly British cheeses DH is a cheesemonger but he is also French, and it just seems necessary at Christmas!

A really strong extra mature cheddar, an amazing blue cheese in a pot that Tesco only sell at Christmas, Wensleydale and cranberry and possibly a brie. I also put grapes, apple slices, crystalised ginger, a couple of chutneys, some cornichons and pickles onions and some slices of Christmas cake.

Epoisses
Yorkshire blue

A little trip to Booths next week for a few more. We are aiming for about 24 😀
