Ingredients
- That’s Amore Cheese selection

- 200g Buffalo Bocconcini (fresh buffalo milk bocconcini)
- 250g Lavato (semi-soft cow milk wash rind, matured 4–5 weeks, taleggio style)
- 360g Diavoletti (cow milk smoked provolina filled with olive & chilli)
- 300g Chilli Caciotta (fresh cow milk cheese with chilli flakes)
- 300g Ricotta Salata (cow milk air-dried salted ricotta)
- 300g Drunken Buffalo (buffalo cheese matured 6 months in Nebbiolo grape skins & lees)
-
- Accompaniments
- 1 baguette, sliced

- 250g Lavosh biscuits
- 1 bunch grapes
- 6 fresh figs
- 10 dried apricots
- 4 walnuts
- 3 pears
- 3 tbsp honey
Method
- Start with choosing a range of cheese with different textures and flavours (something sharp, something fresh, something creamy).
- It’s also good to have a selection of cheese with different types of milk sources (cow, buffalo, goat, sheep) and maturation (fresh, firm, semi-hard, hard). This will ensure a range of different flavours on the plate.
- For a party in which cheese is the main event, consider 200/300g cheese per person. If cheese is one of many items being served, 150/200g per person will suffice.
- While cheese can be perfectly enjoyed alone, it’s always nice to have some accompaniments for adding extra flavours and textures using fruit.
- Offer a selection of breads, crackers and bread sticks in all different shapes and sizes. It’s a good idea to vary taste and texture among the breads as well as the cheeses.
- Fill in big gaps on the board with fresh and dried fruit, olives and honey.
- Now fill in whatever space is left with crunchy extras like nuts and seeds, in this case walnuts.
- Adding these extra little touches to your cheese plate gets people talking and makes it really memorable.
