Recipe


Ingredients

  • That’s Amore Cheese selection
  • 125g Treccia (fresh cow milk mozzarella), braided
  • 200g Buffalo Bocconcini (fresh buffalo milk bocconcini)
  • 250g Lavato (semi-soft cow milk wash rind, matured 4–5 weeks, taleggio style)
  • 360g Diavoletti (cow milk smoked provolina filled with olive & chilli)
  • 300g Chilli Caciotta (fresh cow milk cheese with chilli flakes)
  • 300g Ricotta Salata (cow milk air-dried salted ricotta)
  • 300g Drunken Buffalo (buffalo cheese matured 6 months in Nebbiolo grape skins & lees)

  • Accompaniments
  • 1 baguette, sliced
  • 170g cranberry and hazelnut crisps
  • 250g Lavosh biscuits
  • 1 bunch grapes
  • 6 fresh figs
  • 10 dried apricots
  • 4 walnuts
  • 3 pears
  • 3 tbsp honey

Method


  • Start with choosing a range of cheese with different textures and flavours (something sharp, something fresh, something creamy).
  • It’s also good to have a selection of cheese with different types of milk sources (cow, buffalo, goat, sheep) and maturation (fresh, firm, semi-hard, hard). This will ensure a range of different flavours on the plate.
  • For a party in which cheese is the main event, consider 200/300g cheese per person. If cheese is one of many items being served, 150/200g per person will suffice.
  • While cheese can be perfectly enjoyed alone, it’s always nice to have some accompaniments for adding extra flavours and textures using fruit.
  • Offer a selection of breads, crackers and bread sticks in all different shapes and sizes. It’s a good idea to vary taste and texture among the breads as well as the cheeses.
  • Fill in big gaps on the board with fresh and dried fruit, olives and honey.
  • Now fill in whatever space is left with crunchy extras like nuts and seeds, in this case walnuts.
  • Adding these extra little touches to your cheese plate gets people talking and makes it really memorable.
