Next, How to Choose the Perfect Cheese for Your Platter:

Selecting the perfect cheese provides us a fun challenge, and often result to surprising pairing discoveries. So today, select a cheese which has the variety of textures and flavors that belong to the basic groups or categories of cheeses. You may remember this acronym: BAFS for blue, aged,  firm, and soft.

• Valdeón

Valdeon is a blue cheese made from both cow and goat’s milk. But sometimes, a sheep’s milk may use to substitute goat’s milk. It exudes an intense flavor with somewhat lactic taste. This cheese has a rich buttery aroma, and the texture is creamy.

Certain cheeses – aged Cheddar, Swiss, blue, Monterey Jack, Brie, Gouda and processed American cheese – have been shown to help prevent tooth decay. Calcium, phosphorus and other components in cheese may contribute to this beneficial effect.

• Goat Gouda

Goat Gouda is a good choice for aged cheese. It has a semi-firm cheese made from pasteurized goats’ milk. It has an ivory color and has a dense and smooth texture at the same time slightly grainy. It takes 4 to 5 months to age this type of cheese. It is usually used for pies and crisps.

• Manchego

You can never go wrong with this firm cheese. This authentic cheese from La Mancha, Spain is very popular because of its a tangy, full-flavor. Manchego has a pale yellow appearance with a somewhat grainy texture.  The cheese is being processed for 60 days to 2 years using only Manchego sheep’s milk. As part of the tradition, the cheese is being wrapped with grass molds, thus the distinct characteristic of Manchego,

Cheese takes up about 1/10 the volume of the milk it was made from.

• Constant Bliss

Nothing beats Constant Bliss as a soft cheese. It is dubbed as dream cheese made from pasteurized cow’s milk. Constant Bliss has a rich buttery taste.

Age is not important unless you’re a cheese. ~Helen Hayes
