Creating the Ultimate Christmas Cheese Platter with Supercheese Selections

The festive season calls for indulgence, and what better way to celebrate than with a sumptuous cheese platter? At Supercheese, we offer a wide range of premium cheeses, charcuterie and accompaniments to make your Christmas gatherings unforgettable. Here's how to create a show-stopping cheese platter with our handpicked selections.

1. Choose a Variety of Cheeses

A perfect platter includes a mix of textures and flavours:

• Soft Cheese: Brie, Camembert or a Triple Cream for a creamy, buttery taste.
• Hard Cheese: Aged raw milk cheddar, Comté or Gruyère for bold, sharp notes.
• Blue Cheese: Colston Bassett Stilton, Gorgonzola or Carlès Roquefort for a tangy kick.
• Goat Cheese: For a fresh and tangy addition.
• Washed Rind Cheese: Add a unique aroma with an Époisses, some Taleggio or a Munster.

Supercheese offers an extensive selection, ensuring you have the finest quality for your platter.

2. Add Sweet and Savory Accompaniments

Balance the flavours of your cheeses with complementary accompaniments:

• Sweet: Honey, caramelised fig & quince jam, fresh seasonal fruit, or dried apricots.
• Savory: Olives, cornichons, and roasted nuts.
• Crunchy: Assorted crackers, crusty bread, or lavosh.

3. Focus on Presentation

A visually appealing cheese platter enhances the festive vibe:

• Use a large wooden board or slate as your base.
• Arrange cheeses with enough space to slice and serve.
• Add accompaniments in small clusters for a balanced look.
• Use sprigs of fresh thyme or edible flowers for a seasonal touch.

4. Pair with Drinks

Complete your platter with beverages that complement the flavours:

• Wine: Champagne for soft cheeses, red wine for hard cheeses, and sweet dessert wines for blue cheese.
• Non-Alcoholic Options: Sparkling water with lemon or apple cider, or the any of the many non-alc options on the market nowadays.

5. Tips for Serving

• Let cheeses sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before serving, preferably longer.
• Provide a separate knife for each cheese to preserve flavours.
• Label each cheese for easy identification.
