THE PROPER CUT:HOW TO SLICE CHEESE AT HOME
We take the mystery out of serving your specialty cheese.
ROUND CHEESE
Much like a cake, cut round cheese (like Camembert) into even wedges
from the centre outwards. Cut in half first for easier serving.
BLOCK CHEESE
Slice a block-shaped cheese into horizontal slices in order that
everyone has the same share of rind and creamy middle.
SEMI-HARD CHEESES
To preserve the form and the life of the cheese (such as Comté)
aim to cut into smaller blocks or wedges.
DELICATE CHEESES
Section your delicate cheese (such as Brie) into long, narrow wedges
from the tip outWard. Make sure you don’t cut off the tip!
PYRAMID CHEESES
Much like a round cheese, cut a pyramid or square cheese by first slicing down
the middle and making two further cuts at 45 degree angles to create wedges.
BLUE CHEESES
The most important thing is that everyone receives an equal amount
of ‘blue’ in their slice so aim to criss-cross to create smaller wedges.
CREAM CHEESES
Cream cheeses such as Rondelé are best scooped from their packet
and served in a bowl.
