1. If you're interested in making a larger cheese board, we recommend having an array of soft, hard, and crumbly cheeses. We especially love Brie, Parmesan, Pecorino, Manchego, and Ricotta.

2. Dried and fresh fruits are a great addition to any cheese board.

3. Always temper your cheeses 30 minutes before serving.

4. You can add spiced or flavored crackers to your board for variety.

5. Include some pickles or olives to add saltiness.

6. Salamis, prosciutto, or your favorite cured meat makes for great additions to any cheese board.

WINE PAIRING NOTES

To pair with Mt. Tam’s buttery, mellow, earthy flavors with notes of white mushroom, look for a wine that’s crisp and citrusy. I especially love Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio with this cheese.

Cypress Grove’s slightly tangy, slightly salty Ms. Natural cheese goes great with some bubbles! I love a dry-style of sparkling like Schramsberg or Krug or a Spanish Cava. Or, for something on the sweet side, try a Prosecco.

Cheers!
