What spreads to put on a cheese board?

Step 5: Add condiments. Condiments are a really fun addition to a cheese board. Some of my favorite options: honey, fancy mustards, jams, and preserves. You can add sauces and chutneys and whatever else makes you happy.

Can we eat cheese directly?

You can use a fork to eat the cheese directly, or you can place the cheese on a cracker first, then eat the cracker with your fingers. This is very important for formal events. If you see any crackers or fruit served alongside the cheeses, don't hesitate to pluck a few up and drop them onto your plate.

What drink goes with cheese?

One drink pairing per cheese type The mild and creamy cheeses, such as brie, camembert and similar, pair well with something light. A lager or G&T would go well here. A crisp white wine or a very light red wine, such as Pinot Noir, would also be a lovely match. Or try a Chardonnay that isn't too oaky.

Does Port go with cheese?

Mellow, rich and nutty, Tawny Port can be served slightly chilled and marries impressively well with salty, dry, hard cheeses, such as Parmigiano Reggiano (Parmesan), cheddar, Comté and Pecorino.
