How to Make a Cheese Platter – Infographic

Sampling new foods and flavors with your girlfriends is a great way to solidify your friendships and expand your horizons. And, unlike politics or religion, food is a topic that everyone can have an opinion on without becoming confrontational. Whether you’re getting ready for a night out on the town or having a wine and movie night, a cheese platter presents an opportunity to relax and open up with some idle talk about different pairings and flavors.

There should be a full assortment of different flavors and styles of cheeses, and you should try to include as many different sides and condiments as possible. A robust variety indicates that there are limitless options and plenty of time to try them all. Guests should be encouraged to relax and enjoy mixing and matching. You should also have a receptacle set aside for disposing of waste and unwanted items so that no one feels obligated to continue eating something that turned out to be un-appetizing.For more ideas on cheese and condiment combinations, check out the infographic below.
