The Perfect Cheese Board for Your Valentine: A Guide to Cheesy Romance

This Valentine's Day, forget the chocolates and roses (okay, maybe keep the roses). Instead, surprise your special someone with a stunning cheese board that's sure to melt their heart. At Cured & Cultivated, we believe that nothing says "I love you" quite like a carefully curated selection of artisanal cheeses. Let's dive into creating the perfect romantic cheese board that will have your Valentine falling head over heels.

Valentine's Day Cheese - Cured and Cultivated

1. Saint Angel Triple Cream Brie: The Star of the Show

Start with our luxurious Saint Angel Triple Cream Brie. This French masterpiece boasts a fluffy white rind and a rich, buttery interior that's simply irresistible. Its creamy texture and subtle mushroom notes make it a perfect match for champagne or crisp white wine. Pro tip: Drizzle a bit of honey over it for a sweet contrast that'll make your taste buds sing.

Now, about the legend of love and cheese… There are many, but our favorite one is about love for Brie: Legend has it that Louis XVI asked for Brie and wine before he was executed by the Revolutionary Assembly in Paris. Another legend says he didn't escape because he wanted to finish his Brie.

2. Alp Blossom: A Floral Fantasy

Imagine a cheese that transports you to an Alpine meadow. Alp Blossom is a semi-hard German cheese coated in a colorful array of dried flowers and herbs, offering a delightful contrast of sweet, floral notes and savory umami flavors. Pair it with a glass of Riesling and dark chocolate for a truly romantic treat. The floral coating adds a whimsical touch to your board, making it a visual delight as well.

For a truly decadent touch, add the Point Reyes Toma Truffle to your board. This California masterpiece is infused with Italian black truffles, offering earthy, buttery richness reminiscent of fresh strawberries and dried fruit. Its complex flavors make it perfect for a special occasion, and it pairs beautifully with a dry sparkling wine.

4. The Perfect Pairings

Elevate your cheese game with these accompaniments:

  • Our artisanal fruit preserves: Try the fig spread with the Brie, or cherry preserve with the Alp Blossom

  • Locally sourced honey: Drizzle over the Toma Truffle for a heavenly combination

  • Assorted nuts: Candied pecans or roasted almonds add a delightful crunch

  • Fresh fruits: Red grapes or sliced pears complement the cheeses beautifully

5. Setting the Mood

Arrange your cheeses on a rustic wooden board or a sleek slate platter. Add some fresh flowers or scattered rose petals for that extra romantic touch. Don't forget to light a candle or two – ambiance is key!

6. Make it a Date Night Activity

Turn your cheese board creation into a fun couple's activity. Open a bottle of wine, put on some music, and enjoy assembling your board together. It's a delicious way to bond and create memories.
