But don’t worry, my fool-proof guide to the perfect summer 2022 cheese board is designed to help take the stress out of planning an amazing summer cheese board for your next party or picnic whether you’re a fan of goat’s cheese, prefer a stinky blue or love a mature cheddar.

The Best 6 Cheese pairings you will ever need to create the perfect cheese board. This easy cheese pairing chart has the answers you need

Rules - 

The first rule of a great cheese board is obviously great cheese – you can have the best product on

the planet but if you pair it with bad cheese you and your guests will know about it

The second rule is finding contrasts - You want to look for a cheese and an accompaniment that are on opposite sides of the tangy/sweet spectrum, like the classic cheddar and grapes and if you can

find pairings that contrast in terms of texture too you’re onto a real winner – hence the classic soft

cheese and crunchy cracker combination that’s stood the test of time.

The 6 Cheese Pairings                                                                                                                    

No. 1 Blue Cheese + Oatcakes + Walnuts 

Why it works:

I absolutely love a mouth-watering Blue Cheese full of character paired with walnuts.
The earthy taste of the nuts goes beautifully with the saltiness of the blue and if you want to add a pitch of sweetness try these pairing drizzled with honey. The oatcake in the perfect crumbly texture for this pairing.

No.2 Brie + Baguette + Pear 

Why it works:

Stunning soft cheese, like Brie cheese tastes wonderful when served with a juicy
gritty pear. The sweet, citrusy flavour works so beautifully with this our favourite
soft cheese, the indulgent Brie De Meaux, throw in a piece of roughly torn baguette
and I promise you’ll never look back!

No.3 Comte + Crackers + Dried Apricots 

Why it works:

Comte is a beautifully smooth and nutty cheese, pairing it simply with sweet dried
apricots on a plain cracker to avoid over-powering the delicate flavours *chefs kiss*

No.4 Goats Cheese + Charcoal crackers + Figs

Why it works:

This combination of figs and goat cheese isn’t one you’ll find on many pub cheese
boards but trust me when I tell you it’s one of the most perfect combinations in the world. Serving a rich creamy goat cheese, sweet fresh figs, and hearty charcoal crackers is an easy win the taste is sensational you will be in heaven.

No.5 Manchego + Rye Crackers + Membrillo

Why it works:

What’s a summer cheese board without a latin kick? This classic Spanish cheese
pairing is seen in tapas bars from Santander to Seville. Manchego’s
piquant flavour and full-bodied texture make it an extremely versatile cheese. It is the perfect match for sweet membrillo, a paste made of quince, as the naturally savoury and salty characteristics provide a delicious contrast.

No.6 Cheddar + Fig Toast + Grapes 

Why it works:                                                                                              

Last but not least, a modern take on an old classic. Mature crumbly rich cheddar is a bold and strong taste so you need a cracker that can stand up to it. This fruit toast is a favourite of mine, it’s the perfect vehicle for this pairing and goes perfectly with the light sweet taste of the grapes.
