Few culinary experiences rival the sheer delight of indulging in an evening filled with the delectable flavours of cheese. As we’re devoted to the art of crafting exceptional dairy delights, we invite you to embark on a gourmet journey through the world of cheese. In this blog, we will share our passion for cheese, along with expert tips and ideas to create a truly memorable and gourmet evening that revolves around the star of the show – cheese!

1. Setting the Stage

Every gourmet evening with cheese begins with a thoughtfully curated cheese board. Choose a selection of our premium cheeses that represent diverse flavours and textures. Add an artisanal touch with lesser-known gems such as our “Garlic and Chive Cheddar” truckle. Arrange the cheeses on a beautiful wooden board, and don't forget to label each variety for a sophisticated touch.

2. Pairings That Compliment

Pairing cheese with the right accompaniments can elevate the tasting experience to new heights. Offer an assortment of condiments such as our range of chutneys, pickles, pickled onions and jams. For those who enjoy a touch of sophistication, consider pairing the cheese with a carefully chosen wine or craft beer.

3. Wine and Cheese Harmony

Wine and cheese have a timeless romance that has been perfected over the ages. To create a harmonious wine and cheese pairing, remember the golden rule: let the wine match the intensity of the cheese. 

For example, our “For Her! Cheese & Wine Gift Box” pairs our Rum & Pineapple Carnival Cheese Truckle with a J.E Ridlington Zinfandel Rose.

The “Port Wine & Cheese Gift Hamper” pairs our Extra-Mature Vintage Cheese Truckle (and a number of other options) with a full-bodied “Graham’s Tawny Port”.

4. Cheese-Centric Dining

Transform your dinner into an exclusive cheese-centred affair. Incorporate cheese into each course, from appetisers to desserts. Start with elegant cheese-filled pastry appetisers, followed by a flavourful cheese-based soup. For the main course, serve a delightful cheese-stuffed chicken breast or a cheese-infused risotto. Cap off the evening with a decadent cheesecake or a cheese platter featuring rich and creamy dessert cheeses.

5. Cheese Tasting Games

Add a playful twist to your gourmet evening with cheese by incorporating cheese-tasting games. Blindfolded taste tests, guessing the cheese type, or rating cheeses on a scorecard add an element of fun and excitement to the evening. Consider giving small cheese-related prizes to the winners, making the event even more memorable.

6. The Cheese-Themed Movie Night

Turn your gourmet evening into a cosy cheese-themed movie night. Select a classic or romantic movie that features cheese as a prominent element in its plot. As you watch, indulge in the various cheeses, pairings, and snacks provided on the cheese board. This unique movie night will create lasting memories and make for great conversations.
