Tips for Serving Cheese

Are you a cheese whiz? Do you know the best way to serve cheese? Attention to just a few details can make a significant difference.

 

Keep cheese in the refrigerator, wrapped in plastic. Before serving, let the cheese sit for an hour to take the chill off, its flavor intensifies at room temperature.

 

Serve cheese on a sturdy, flat wooden or marble platter.

 

For cutting, use a sharp chef's knife with a strong handle you can bear down with. Better still is a knife specially made for cheese with an angled blade, textured to prevent slippage.

 

Cheese planes, those flat metal implements with a blade opening in the middle of the face, are good for slicing a thin leaf of cheese. These should only be used on brick or bar-shaped chunks. Cut wheels of cheese into wedges with a sharp knife.
