Cheese - what would you choose?

[kimchio]

I'm making a cheese board for boxing day. So far I have boursin and a nice mature cheddar. What would you choose?

I'd add some walnuts and crunchy celery on the side!

Castillo pineapple halo. It's lovely and mild and contrasts the stronger cheeses well. I love it, and it looks fancy 😄

I like to add lightly toasted walnuts to a cheeseboard

Mature cheddar definitely.

We used to go to a colleagues who was kean on dinner parties. He had amazing cheese selections, he used to visit specialist shops for cheeses that were difficult to find.

Nowadays at home it's just some crackers and oat biscuits with cheddar, brie, blue cheese, edam and a goats cheese. Only constraint is no cheese with 'bits'. OH gets the tubes of primula for spreading.

A mature red, such as Leicester.

There was a cheese lady on Saturday Kitchen at the weekend she was good. However, Helen, the wine expert, said white wine is good with cheese! Maybe it's worth a look on iplayer

Red Fox!

As much cheese as possible

Remember it's cheeses's birthday

......I'll get my coat

I'd go for a Somerset brie, Welsh Goats cheese, Black Stocks Stilton, red Leicester as my son's favourite, Wensleydale.

Stilton
Roquefort
Pecorino
Goats cheese
Brie
Camembert
Applewood
Wensleydale with cranberries.

You ned to get tallegio and pair that with fig jam or quince. God it's lovely. You also need to att lots of fruits. I love the contrast between heavy cheese and light fruit. Physalis, grapes, pears, crips green apple slices...

Honestly Tasty
Its absolutely delicious vegan cheese, several different types. Contains no cruelty.
nothing like supermarket non-dairy cheese.

I'm going to end up with a fridge full of cheese at this rate :) 🧀 thank you all again really helpful

Blue cheese. All the blue cheese. The smellier the better

Cheese night on the 22nd? I am SO sold for that - stealing your brilliant cheese plan.

Red fox
black bomber
applewood or another smoked cheese
brie

Applewood is nice mmm

Right I've got a long list for the cheese run! Thank you!

No goat or blue here bur Gruyère and Sage Derby and that pineapple ring soft cheese as advised by pp. Grapes, apples, walnuts and pecans, real salted butter, nice crispy crackers.

Not IME it isn't - far too bland
You really need brie de meaux; if no proper cheesemonger nearby the M&S version's pretty good

I'd also add something strong and fairly salty like bleu d'Auvergne (almost the same as roquefort but you get far more for your money)

😊

We have it with a little salad and baguette so it's less obviously just gorging on cheese lol

As PP said we also prefer white wine instead of red with cheese
For a real splurge Sauternes (dessert wine) is perfect with Roquefort and blue cheeses

If you can get it - Creme de Bourgogne
Waitrose had an amazing Caerphilly on their service counter last week.

We're not keen on very strong smelly cheeses so we go with Somerset brie, port salut, black bomber, boursin then something random.

Stilton, a good Camembert, goats cheese, double Gloucester perhaps or a sage derby. Lidl has an excellent selection currently, we might have bought a decent percentage of the stock here!

I am salivating ... just read the whole thread...

My fridge is already full of cheese but going to add a few more!!!!
