The key to a great cheese board is having a variety of flavors, textures, and colors. You’ll build your board around a mix of cheeses: hard, soft, and blue. Then add in a few sweet and savory pairings, and voila! The perfect holiday appetizer.

CHEESES

• von Trapp Farmstead’s Mad River Blue
  “Straight from the Mad River Valley in Waitsfield, VT and made with Von Trapp Farmsteads’ certified organic milk. Buttery, smooth, mildly piquant. UMAMI BOMB!”
• Jasper Hill Farm’s Alpha Tolman
  “My absolute favorite Alpine Style cheese! Fruity and nutty when young developing bold, meaty, caramelized onion flavor as it matures. Also one of the 1^st place winners in this year American Cheese Society national judging and competition event.”
• Fromagerie Guilloteau’s Fromager d’Affinois
  “Can NOT have a cheeseboard without this show stopper! French double-creme Brie style cheese. Mild, sweet, ultra creamy and rich.”
