What is the best cheese?
There is no universal winner. Choose by use, texture, intensity, availability and the people being served.
How many cheeses belong on a board?
Three to five distinct cheeses are usually enough for most home gatherings.
Should cheese be served at room temperature?
Some cheeses show more flavour after a short tempering period, but food-safety time limits still apply.
Can mould be cut off cheese?
Guidance depends on the cheese type. Soft, shredded and crumbled cheese generally requires more caution than a large hard block.
