Putting together a cheese platter can be easy if you follow these quick tips
Choose Your Cheese
There are two ways to go about doing this. You can select cheeses that have different flavors (1 goat's milk, 1 sheep's milk, 1 cow's milk) or textures (1 soft, 1 hard, 1 semi-soft). You can also select cheeses that follow a theme, such as cheese that comes from Spain or cheese that pairs well with Champagne.Buy the Right Amount
A general guideline is 1-2 ounces of each cheese per person.Accesories

Cheese can be displayed on anything from a serving plate, to a plastic tray, to a wooden cutting board, to a cheese dome, to a slab of marble. Be creative! Whatever you use, cheese knives should accompany the platter so guests can serve themselves. Ideally, each cheese has its own knife.
