Tips for Crafting the Perfect Thanksgiving Cheese Platter


1. Variety is Key

Begin with a diverse selection of Amish cheeses, such as Cheddar, Swiss, Provolone, and Gouda from Simply Cheese. The varying textures and flavors will cater to different palates.

2. Pair with Complementary Ingredients

Incorporate an array of complementary elements like dried fruits, nuts, olives, and crackers. These accompaniments add texture and depth to your platter.

3. Add Some Freshness

Fresh fruits like sliced pears and crisp apple wedges not only provide a refreshing contrast but also add a touch of color to your platter.

4. Balance Flavors

Create a harmonious balance between the richness of your Amish cheeses and the tanginess of chutneys, mustards, and jams.

5. Texture Matters

Combine soft, semi-soft, and hard cheeses for an appealing variety. Simply Cheese's Amish Colby, Brick, and Monterey Jack are excellent choices to achieve this balance.

6. Presentation is Everything

Arrange your cheeses and accompaniments thoughtfully. Use wooden boards, slate, or decorative platters to make your cheese platter visually enticing.
