Directions

  1. Citrus and spice are wonderful winter flavours, and the perfect inspiration for a wintery cheese board.
  2. Our Black River Chipotle Cheddar Log, 3-Year Aged Cheddar and Smoked Cheddar are ideal. Evenly space the cheeses on your board, leaving room for complimentary items to be placed near them.
  3. Choose cured meats that have a more robust flavour profile. Coppa and a dried aged beef jerky are great choices. Place these together next to the Chipotle Cheddar Log and 3-year aged cheddar. Add a bit of grainy mustard to go with the meats.
  4. Use warm spiced nuts, warm chili and rosemary mixed olives (in a dish), cornichons, and pickled onions to create a delicious salty, pickled section.
  1. Add sliced figs, clementine wedges, red currants, and black seedless grapes to the empty spaces.
  2. Tie everything together with some toasted nut breads and nutty crackers and an elegant seasonal garnish like dried citrus (tangerines or lemons) and some fresh pine.
  • You can’t go wrong washing these wintery treats down with a glass of champagne, a dry Martini, or a barrel aged cocktail (think Manhattan or Negroni).
