\"Perfect<\/a>Another day, another party food for you. If you\u2019re anything like us, you love cheese. It\u2019s the perfect party food to pair with chips, crackers, veggies, pretzels, fruit jams, meats, nuts\u2026you get the idea. We love a good snack setup at a party, and we feel like the cheese plate is the crowning glory of any good spread. But what to put on your tray? What to include along with several kinds of cheeses? Wonder no more.<\/p>\n

\"Perfect<\/a><\/p>\n

We here at GMS like a couple of harder cheeses, a couple softer ones, then various accoutrements to round out the salty cheese \u2013 some savory items, some sweet. We recommend three or four cheeses to start \u2013 we used brie, cheddar, gouda, and Port Salut. Then, we included two sweet fruit pastes \u2013 one was an apple cranberry spread (we love a seasonal fruit spread!) and the other an orange marmalade. We also included honey \u2013 an easy staple that you might have on hand if you don\u2019t normally stock jellies and jams. To round it out, we included a salami and some green olives, but you could add prosciutto, pepperoni, nuts, or whatever other items you like \u2013 whatever you think your guests will be into. Then offer a variety of crackers and bread slices, and you’re all set!<\/p>\n
