Delicious Cheese Appetizers

Have you ever hosted a cheese tasting party? It's not only fun, but a great way to introduce your cheese-loving friends to a variety of cheeses they may not have ever tried before.

Plan on about a 1/4 lb. of cheese per person. Include a balance of strong and mild cheeses with different textures from soft to hard. You can serve the cheese varieties with crackers, but make sure the crackers don't dominate in flavor. The flavor of the cheese should be the most prominent when tasting. In addition, serve a selection of your favorite wines to go along with the cheese tasting. For more fascinating facts and interesting tips for cheese, check our our Cheese Tips page.

Speaking of cheese and crackers, that old standby never gets tiresome because it provides a wonderful contrast to more elaborate selections of appetizers that you may be serving at the same time.

Here are some terrific ideas for serving some different and exotic cheeses with crackers: Bel Paese, Boursin, Abbaye de Belloc (a rich French cheese), Fontina, Gouda, Havarti, Mozzarella, Port du Salut, Scamorze, and Swiss. Of course, there are many more types of cheese you can serve with crackers, but this selection offers some new ideas for cheese lovers.
