We asked our neighbourhood cheesemonger, Tammy Miller at Country Cheese Company<\/a><\/span>, what she would recommend for a cheese board on Valentine\u2019s Day\u2014or any other special occasion.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Here are Tammy’ top five picks:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Farmstead 3-Year Gouda, Mountainoak Cheese<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

This aged gouda has a wonderful grainy crystaline texture and an intense sweet-savory flavour with a caramel finish. Break it up in rustic chunks and serve with dried cured meats, olives, roasted nuts, mustard and dark bread. #CDNcheese<\/p>\n

\"\"Adoray, Fromagerie Montebello<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

A pretty little cheese wrapped in spruce bark is perfect to feature on a cheese board. This rich cheese tastes of salted butter and bit of funky damp hay. The spruce bark strapping adds a pleasant resinous woodsy flavour. Cut the top off and slather on fresh crusty bread. #CDNcheese<\/p>\n

\"\"Wildwood, Stonetown Artisan Cheese<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

This firm washed rind has a silky texture and flavours of brown butter and nuts. Serve with a cherry jam like Provisions Montmorency Cherry and Merlot Wine Jam. #CDNcheese<\/p>\n

\"\"Figaro, Glengarry Fine Cheese<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

A soft surface-ripened cheese that when served at around six weeks is rich and lactic, with mellow yeasty and vegetal notes. Serve it with dried fruits and nuts, fresh berries, or drizzle with honey. #CDNcheese<\/p>\n

\"\"Cashel Blue, J&L Grubb<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Creamy and salty with the perfect amount of mineral blue tang. Tammy likes to serve this with classic pairings like honey, figs, prosciutto and candied nuts. Imported from Ireland.<\/p>\n
