Crown Jewels<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

“For all its historic stardom, cheese had decidedly humble origins as a peasant food\u2014much like p\u00e2t\u00e9 and wine, cheese began life as a solution to food spoilage. How it came to be an appetizer of the rich and powerful speaks to the very nature of the beast: cheese, no matter how simple, just feels<\/em> like a luxury.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Japanese Cheese Plate<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

“Japanese cuisine has steadily seeped into US culture over the past few decades, from matcha lattes at Starbucks to sushi restaurants in nearly every town.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Valentine’s Day Plate<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

“When it comes to everyone\u2019s favorite Hallmark holiday, a great cheese plate is key. It takes almost no time to prepare but provides a wallop of wow-factor\u2014as long as your pairings are on point. What more would you need to woo your beau?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Budget Bites<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

“Gorgeous cheese plates on Instagram are swoon-worthy, but assembling your own can be intimidating. Wander into any specialty cheese shop and those high price tags might make you faint for a different reason. But wait, stay with us\u2014you don\u2019t have to spend a ton to build a beautiful cheese plate.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Brunch Plate<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Who says cheese plates have to be for the afternoon? Pull out the cheese and pour some champagne because we’re having cheese for brunch!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Dessert Plate<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

“The traditional cheese course, also a French invention, is typically served between the main course and dessert\u2014that is, if one were to follow convention. But as the longest year on record comes to a close, we\u2019re dispensing with the pleasantries. Dessert before dinner! Chocolate on cheese on cookies! Tell Aunt Mabel what you really think of her famous fruitcake!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Atomic Age<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

“If a time machine deposited you into a party in 1957 American suburbia, what might you see? Perhaps a lavish spread of sweet (and savory) gelatin delights, processed meats glistening beneath various gravies, a glowing mushroom cloud blossoming on a grainy TV screen in the background. Oh, and lots of dishes centered around cheese and pseudo-cheese.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Travel Plate<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Taking a cue from Marissa Mullen\u2019s snack-hacking sorcery, we\u2019ve rounded up some of our favorite cheese and cheese-adjacent products that make it easy to snack in style wherever you are.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
