Garnishes for Cheddar

Here are some cheese plate garnishes
that go particularly well with cheddar…

OLIVES: The saltiness and texture goes best with 3 year cheddar.

PEARS: A sweetness that complements without overpowering.

CHUTNEYS: The sweeter the chutney, the milder the cheddar.

NUTS: Unsalted is best. Walnuts are an especially good choice.

BAGUETTE SLICES: Plain, toasted or broiled. A good choice for any Cheddar, but especially extra old. Thinly sliced and toasted artesanal breads or fruit breads are also ideal.

APPLES: The acidity refreshes and clears the palate. We recommend Royal Gala.

FIGS/DATES: A good choice with medium and older cheddars.
