For the person with excellent taste
How to serve a cheese board gift set
Set the mini board on the counter, slice the Merlot Cheddar and let The Velvet Muse sit out for about 30 minutes so it turns soft and creamy. Fan out the salami, tuck in a few Effie's Biscuits, spoon on the jam and drizzle the spicy honey right over the blue goat cheese. Save the caramels for last. Five minutes, one very good little spread. Because pretty food tastes better.
Great with: Red wine • Sparkling wine • Fresh pears
