Choose a variety of cheeses with different styles, types of milk, ages, and textures.

Serve the cheese platter at room temperature.

Select pairings for the cheese platter, avoiding anything too citrusy.

Include fresh fruits like grapes, pears, apples, and stone fruits such as dates, figs, plums, and apricots.

Add dried fruits like dried mango.

Incorporate nuts, such as toasted walnuts.

Include a dressing or preserve, like peach preserve or honey, which pairs well with cheese.

For blue cheese or gorgonzola, a balsamic reduction is a nice addition.

Assemble the platter by adding the chosen cheeses and pairings: place grapes, peach preserve near the sharp cheddar, dried mango, and toasted walnuts in the center.
