CHEESE PLATTER (8 pers.)

A balanced lineup of Belgian + international cheeses (creamy, aged, and blue), with the right sidekicks to keep every bite interesting: seasonal fruit, dried fruit, crunchy Union Square nuts, plus sweet honey and a rich onion confit for the sweet-salty debate. - COMTÉ / MAREDSOUS / BELGIAN BRIE / BLUE CHEESE / DRIED FRUITS / UNION SQUARE NUTS / ONION CONFIT / FRESH GRAPES / HONEY (GF)(V) (milk - nuts - hazelnuts - pecan nuts - cashew nuts - mustard) - BREAD (V) (gluten (wheat - spelt - oats - barley - rye) - sesame - soy - milk) - BUTTER (GF)(V) (milk) - Assorted cheeses (Cheeses may vary with the season, always selected in a balanced way: from mild to intense.) - Seasonal fruit (e.g., grapes, figs), plus dried fruit - Union Square nuts for crunch - Honey + onion confit to bridge “team sweet” and “team savoury” - Bread + butter included Portion - Perfect as an apéritif for 8 people - Also works as a light meal for 3–4 people (add salad or charcuterie if you want it to feel like a full table) How to serve it (so it tastes like twice the effort) - Take out of the fridge 20–30 minutes before serving for better flavour and texture - Serve mild cheeses first, keep the blue for last - Put out one knife per style (soft / hard / blue) to avoid flavour mixing - Add a small bowl of cornichons or pickled onions if you like extra punch Pairing cheats - Sparkling wine, crisp white, light red, or a fruity beer - Non-alcoholic: sparkling apple juice, kombucha, or iced black tea with lemon
