5 Dessert peaches, halved (Tinned will do)
250g Gooseberries
250g Blueberries
200g Pistachio nuts
200g Pecan nuts
8 slices Parma ham
200g Crackers of choice
Arrange cheeses, olives, cherry tomatoes, peaches, gooseberries, blueberries, pecans, pistachios and crackers in groups on a platter or wooden cheese board.
Serve with 2-3 cheese knives to cut and dish.
Putting together the perfect cheese board is easy! Ideally, you want 3-5 different kinds of cheeses. Combine different styles, textures and colours. Start off with one soft-ripened (Camembert), one hard and one blue. Add your bread or crackers, as a base. Finally, you want to balance the flavours of your cheese board, with something sweet to complement the tart.
Exchange the pistachios and pecans for almonds or peanuts. Trade the parma ham for a different cured ham from our butcher, or add biltong.
Enjoy The Wolftrap range of red, white or rose. To make it even more festive, you can add a Thomp & Scott Skinny Prosecco for some bubbles. Take a look at this blog on Wine and Food Pairings.
