The Perfect Cheeseboard - what's on it?

[JoeLovesGina]

And also what else would you have with the cheeses?

Would love some ideas for something other than Branston pickle and celery!

Local cheeses including a nice blue and a sheep’s cheese. Manchego, Brie. Good butter and crackers. A couple of different chutneys, my favourite for cheese is a plum currently. Grapes and apple slices.

Manchego, Brie, cheddar, Ossau-Iraty, black sticks blue

Grapes, figs, Italian flat biscuits, bresaola, pate

Cornish Yarg is the nicest cheese. Definitely a ewe's milk cheese as well. I really like the cheeses that Lyburn make.

Good crackers - my favourite are Millers. Sliced apple, sliced celery, grapes, a couple of chutneys, maybe a chilli jam or a tomato relish.

A cheddar, a blue, something oozy, a goats cheese

Biscuits, quince paste, walnuts, grapes and pear

Really good cave aged cheddar
I also love a Blacksticks Blue
Stinking Bishop
Comte
Nice strong Camembert

Always with a chilli jam
Date and walnut chutney

I like the bog standard crackers from Lidl or Tesco - flavoured with rosemary, garlic or pepper.

Also crusty baguette

All my favourites have already been mentioned. I really fancy a cheese board now....

Quince
I like a bit of charcuterie as well
Apples
Really good crackers.

But honestly I like grapes the best..

Cheeses would depend on my.mood but vacherin for certain if in season.

Perl las - blue
Baron bigod - brie
Black bomber - strong cheddar, or Hafod is nice too.
Rachel - goat
Gorwydd Caerphilly

And if we're really celebrating, we'll grab a golden cenarth too!

Sharpham cremet with truffle honey.

Black Bomber cheddar
Oxford Blue
Tunworth soft rinded cheese
Red Fox (smoked Red Leicester)

Butter with salt crystals
Peter's sourdough crackers
Caramelised onion chutney
Small pickled onions (not the sweet ones)

No meat, fruit, olives etc needed.

A blue, a soft, a hard, a sheep's and then something else unusual. Figs or fig jelly, a sharp apple (in season cox), some olives. Can't go wrong with oatcakes.

I like a good smoked cheese like applewood, and Brie. A jalapeño and tomato chutney always goes down well.

A really nice vintage cheddar, maybe Cornish crackler. A Stilton, a ripe Brie, and a fruity cheese, I like the Wensleydale with apricots. Carr's cheese melt crackers, some red onion chutney, a spicy tomato chutney, grapes, pink lady apples and some mixed nuts/dates.

Cheese, butter, crackers, pickled onions at a pinch maybe some sort of fancy pickle. No fruit or vegetables they are just not needed if you feel the board looks a bit bare, just add more cheese.

This thread is really making my mouth water! Really great suggestions and accompaniments.
My favourite cheese is Roquefort.

I love these threads!
