At the Table
Accompaniments
Accompaniments give you another way to think about a cheese plate: what to put alongside the cheese, how much variety to offer and where to keep things simple. Explore bread and crackers, fruit and honey, chutneys and pickles, then cheese with charcuterie, following the questions that matter to the meal you have in mind.
What Goes with Cheese? Fruit, Honey and Other Accompaniments
First, the salt of blue cheese.
Chutneys, Pickles and Quince Paste
A thin sliver of sweet quince paste, a firm piece of Manchego, and that first mouthful.
Bread and Crackers for Cheese
A crisp snap, then soft cheese yielding beneath it.
Cheese and Charcuterie
A crumble of mature Cheddar, a tender fold of cooked ham, then a crisp bite of apple to sharpen your appetite for the next mouthful.
