Irish Cheese Board - Appetizers & Sides

Plan to serve about four to five types of cheeses. To purchase, estimate about a total of four to six ounces per person. Select a variety of Irish cheeses, such as Kerrygold’s Blarney Castle, Dubliner, Aged or Reserve Cheddar and Swiss. Let cheeses sit at room temperature for about a half-hour before serving to bring out their full flavor. Set cheeses out on a wooden or marble board or a large serving tray or platter. Accompany in the traditional Irish manner, with any or all of these: Figs, Apricots, Red or Green Grapes, Cherries or Olives.
