Thanksgiving Cheese Selections c/o 109 Cheese Market

A cheese platter, like our "109 Thanksgiving Cheese Selection" is an easy and elegant way to ease into a holiday feast.  Whether you buy a platter of craft your own, this is a great way to kick-off the holiday and can be endlessly repurposed into your holiday leftovers. 

The first cheese selection is an award-winning Fiscalini Bandaged Cheddar, a mature cheddar aged in cloth from Modesto, CA.  A little further south, I've chosen a smooth and bold blue with the Point Blue Reyes.  For a lighter and creamier cheese, I chose the Vermont Butter and Cream Cremont an earthy selection from Vermont goats and cows. And finally, a Cypress Grove Lamb Chopper, a mild sheeps milk cheese from France with a slight nuttiness and nice body and one heck of a name.

This platter, or your DIY version should include a selection of dried fruit and nuts and water wheel crisps. Also, don't forget to pair it with wine. I recommend a bright, crisp and mineraly white like the Eugene Carrel Roussette Savoie which is produced mainly from Roussette grapes. 

Whether you are hosting or guesting, a cheese platter may be a great way to dazzle your friends and family with your cheese connoisseurship.
