Step by Step Holiday Cheese Plate Guide
That Friendsgiving Plate
Step I – Add lots of Jarlsberg Cheese:
After choosing a board to decorate, begin by arranging your cheese plate with a wedge and some cut up cubes of Jarlsberg® Cheese. With it’s smooth and silk consistency, extraordinary versatility and mild and nutty taste, Jarlsberg® is a party pleaser, making the perfect addition to your holiday cheese plate.
Step II – Add something salty and sweet:
Because of it’s mild and buttery flavors, Jarlsberg’s flavor profile tends to pair best with sweet and tart ingredients as well as marbled charcuterie.
For that salty flavor, slice up some mouthwatering marbled salami and add it to the cheese plate. Next, add in raspberries, figs, dried apricots, and sliced apples for those sweet, fruity flavors.
Step III – Add some Crunch:
It’s true, everyone loves a good crunch in a cheeseboard. For their cheeseboard, Jarlsberg® uses seed and fig crackers and candied cinnamon walnuts, but if you can’t find those ingredients, any cracker or nut will do!
Step IV: Decorate
No cheeseboard is complete without some festive garnishes! For the perfect holiday cheeseboard add in some star anise, cinnamon sticks, rosemary and sage.
Step V: Serve with a Festive Drink and Enjoy!
The combination of sweet, salty, crunchy and cheese-y with the aromas of the autumnal herbs will leave your friends and family hanging around the table, sharing in special moments that they will never forget!
