Great Canadian Cheese Platter

Tested Till Perfect

Canada produces excellent cheeses from coast to coast. Though most are from large, high-quality factories, there are many small-scale cheese makers perfecting artisanal cheeses. Fig and Wine Conserve makes a great addition to your cheese board, as well as fresh fruit. As a rule, buy 1 to 1-1/2 oz (30 to 45 g) of each type of cheese you're serving per person.

Servings:

Ingredients:

    1-1/2 lb (750 g) soft or semisoft cheese (such as Brie, Camembert or Oka)
    1-1/2 lb (750 g) firm or hard cheese (such as old Cheddar or Gouda) or flavoured cheese (such as Gouda with cumin seeds or Verdelait with cracked pepper)
    1-1/2 lb (750 g) blue cheese (such as Bleu Bénédictin, Borgonzola, Bleubry or le Ciel de Charlevoix)
    1-1/2 lb (750 g) goat cheese

Preparation:

At least 1 hour before serving, arrange cheeses on platter. Supply one knife for each soft and semisoft cheese; one other knife will serve for hard cheeses.

Additional Information

  • Tip: Specialty cheeses are best eaten shortly after purchase. Cheese needs air, so if you must store it, wrap it in paper or the original wrapping — not plastic wrap — or place in a sealed plastic bag with plenty of air in it.
