Cheese Platter
I need help putting together a cheese platter. Brie is my absolute favorite so that will def. be included. I always have a lot of Cheddar on hand, so I will include that too. I am already serving in other appetizers/side dishes: mozzarella, blue cheese, and cream cheese so I won't be including those. So what else should I add? What cheeses do you love to see offered when you go somewhere?

Re: Cheese Platter
goat cheese
Camembert
Taleggio
Manchego
Gouda
Parmesan with peppercorns throughout
ETA: a nice Epoisse. It's kind of hard to find, though.

Re: Cheese Platter
Yes, how is Manchengo? I guess with everyone recommending it... I should def. get some for my cheese platter. From the looks of it, it is a harder cheese... is it like Gruyere? It seems similar to Gruyere.

Manchego is mild...with a little nuttiness. It's a hard cheese.

OK now I have to try it- because there aren't many cheeses that I can stomach- or stand the smell of!

I also highly recommend Lambchopper! A little on the $$ side but another delicious, creamy but not soft, mild cheese. Plus the wheel has a picture of a lamb on a motorcycle lol.

I've turned on so many people to this cheese and everyone comments on how it's a new favorite. I've only been able to find it at Fairway and Whole Foods.
