The Flatware for Each Cheese Type
Different cheeses require specific cutting tools to achieve the best presentation and texture.
Christofle offers a range of specialized knives and spreaders designed for these cheese varieties, allowing you to serve each cheese in its ideal form.
Soft and Creamy Cheeses
Soft cheeses like Brie, Camembert, and goat cheese are delicate and can become mushy if handled with the wrong tools.
For this type we recommended a rounded blade that’s perfect for scooping and spreading creamy cheeses without damaging their texture.
Semi-Soft to Firm & Hard Cheeses
For semi-soft cheeses like Havarti or Muenster to more firm variants like like Manchego, Cheddar, and Gruyère, a sharper and more durable knife is necessary.
These are designed with a pointed tip and sturdy edge, is ideal for making clean cuts in firmer cheeses. For extra-hard cheeses, like Parmesan, a pronged cheese knife can help break off bite-sized pieces in a traditional style.
Plate The Cheese Elegantly
A beautiful cheese board isn't complete without an elegant base. Christofle’s trays and platters not only add visual appeal but also contribute to a more enjoyable serving experience.
Making a Balanced Cheese Board
Pairing your cheese selection with Christofle’s luxurious tableware ensures every aspect of the experience is enjoyable. To add texture and flavor variety, include small bowls or silver dishes for nuts, dried fruits, olives, and honey. Christofle’s Vertigo Bowls or Albi dishes add an extra touch of class and bring the board to life.
Add Serving Forks and Spreaders
Provide your guests with Christofle’s serving forks, small dessert forks and other flatware essentials to make self-serving easier and more elegant when presenting your cheese board.
