Frequently asked questions

How do I best store cheese before and after the party?

Cheese is best stored in the fridge, preferably in baking paper or cheese-specific packaging to preserve its flavour. Remove the cheese from the fridge half an hour to an hour before serving to allow it to come to room temperature.

How much cheese should I estimate per person for a cheeseboard?

A good rule of thumb is to count about 150-200 grams of cheese per person for a cheese board, depending on how many other appetisers you serve. 

Which drinks go well with cheese snacks?

Wine is a classic choice, with white wine often pairing well with soft cheeses like goat cheese and red wine with more mature cheeses like aged cheese. For a surprising twist, you can also pair beer or even gin with cheese.
