How to Craft the Ultimate Halloween Cheese Board - No Tricks, Just Treats!

This year, throw a party that’s more sophisticated than sweets - nothing says celebration like a breathtaking cheese and charcuterie board, loaded with colors, flavors, and creative touches that fit the season.

Start with Signature Cheeses:

• Amanti Black Lemon Gouda: The star of your board - slice into bats, spiders, or moons for drama and citrus brightness.

• Mimolette (12/18 Months): Serve in wedges for a pumpkin-orange look, perfect with dark crackers.

• Roquefort Société or Bleu D'Auvergne: Add ghoulish blue veins and tangy creaminess - mash into dips or crumble over beets.

• Sage Derby or Pesto Gouda: Green cheeses bring witchy fun and herbal intrigue.

Add Charcuterie and Unique Bites:

• Tongue & Blood Pudding (or try a Blood Sausage): Bold, savory meats for the brave - slice thin and pair with sharp cheeses and pickles.

• Onion & Beetroot Crisps: Crunchy, deep-colored crisps enhance the mood and double as “monster claws.”

Garnish & Pairings:

• Fresh figs, blackberries, grapes, mini pumpkins, and fresh herbs.

• Serve with caramelized nuts, fig or cherry jam, and roasted seeds.

• Add “candy corn” (tri-color cheddar cubes), olive “eyeballs”, and pickled vegetables for playful touches.

Pro Recipe: Gouda & Beetroot Monster Toasts
Toast slices of dark bread, spread with whipped cream cheese blended with beetroot crisps, and top with shredded Amanti Black Lemon Gouda and green pesto Gouda. Garnish with chive “monster hair” and sliced olives for eyes.

Wine Pairing:
A bold Paso Robles Syrah, chilling sparkling, or your favorite blood-red California blend amplifies the spooky grape vibes!
