SAY CHEESE!

Katie Joseph, fresh food and deli buyer at Fortnum & Mason, shares the secrets behind putting together a delicious festive spread

 
‘The perfect cheese board is formed of four cheeses: a hard, a soft, a blue, and a goatโ€™s. You can determine the cheeses by country; if you want a British board, for example, I would recommend Isle of Mull cheddar, Tunworth soft cheese, Colston Bassett blue and Dorstone goatโ€™s cheese. As a general rule, I would recommend 25g of each cheese per person, and would pair it with an English quince cheese or membrillo, with some grapes for a bit of added freshness. The Fortnumโ€™s Caramelised Red Onion Marmalade also makes a lovely addition to the board, as well as the All Butter Crackers that we have recently launched.’ Katie Joseph, fresh food and deli buyer at Fortnum & Mason.


DID YOU KNOW?

Hard cheeses such as cheddar and parmesan can keep unopened for up to four months in the fridge. Be prepared ahead of time and stock up early.
