What Cheeses Should Make It To Your Charcuterie Board?

By Devi Poojari

Confused with the availability of too many options in your supermarket? Here’s a 101 guide to ace your picking board.

BRIE

A soft, creamy cheese that melts beautifully on top of almost anything you put it on.

BLUE CHEESE

If you like funky tasting cheeses, a beautiful blue cheese is a fantastic addition to your board.

CHEDDAR

A good cheese or charcuterie board is the perfect balance between hard and soft cheeses. Good quality cubes of cheddar are perfect to drizzle some honey over or eat with grapes.

LABNEH

The soft, buttery texture of this cheese makes it spreadable over baguettes, crackers and even to dip a breadstick into.

GRUYÉRE

This native cheese from Switzerland has a lovely nutty flavour which is different from most other cheeses that you may have come across. It pairs beautifully with salami, grapes and prosciutto.
