ASSEMBLING THE PERFECT CHEESE PARTY TRAY:

Select several cheese varieties with contrasting flavors and textures. For example Camembert, Gorgonzola, Havarti, Colby and Pepato.
Labeling each type of cheese for guests adds a friendly touch.
For small groups, allow family and friends to cut directly from a cheese wedge or chunk.
For larger groups, serve cubes, sticks and squares that have been cut out ahead of time.
Cheese and deli platters are easy with pre-sliced cheeses.
For a festive sliced cheese platter, cut out shapes with cookie cutters. Save leftover pieces for use on pizza or in other recipes.
