How much
50 to 75g a head after dinner
That is the Academy of Cheese figure for a cheese course after a full meal, with up to three cheeses. The calculator works it out for your table.
Timing
Cheese out early
Take it out of the fridge 30 to 60 minutes before serving, as the Academy of Cheese recommends. Open the crackers last.
Gluten free
A plate for everyone
Gluten free oatcakes and crispbread on their own plate, with their own knife, keep the board safe for guests who avoid gluten.
