It is always appreciated if you serve a lettuce with your
cheeses.
Of course, serve your salad with a French vinaigrette.
Obviously you
must not forget French bread

YOUR CLASSIC CHEESE BOARD :
- Camembert is our national cheese,
if there is one
It is simply made of cow milk, and tastes far
better when creamy, so let it outside of the
fridge for a few hours
before serving so that you make it softer.
- Brie cheese could be commented
the
same way.
- Goat's milk cheese : this
is excellent and
will be the allied of most good red wines
because it brings out their flavor. Goat's milk
cheese can be very dry, fresh or creamy ;
prefer a medium dry one.
- Ewe's milk cheese : Roquefort is our most
famous, but we have many others in
France which can be hard or soft cheese.
The flavor is very authentic but sometimes
too powerful for "non-initiated" people.
Be aware too that it can spoil some very
good red wine for the same reason.
- Cooked cheese : it is not the most tasty,
but you always need one on your board for
those who like it.
- Fromage frais : just as above, many
people are fond of fromage frais and
appreciate to have this choice on your
cheese board, or just by itself
after a heavy meal.
