Cooking Directions:
Remove Wisconsin Cheeses from refrigerator and let set out at room temperature approximately 20 minutes.
Unwrap cheese and slice each into thin slices or small chunks, about 1/2 ounce each, using a clean knife for each cheese.
Arrange 2 to 3 pieces of each cheese (about 1-1/2 ounces of each) on a small plate. Garnish the plate with sliced pear, champagne grapes and walnuts.
Encourage guests to taste cheese in order from the mild, soft, young cheeses to more flavorful, firmer, ripe ones. Begin with the Baby Swiss, followed by Medium Brick, flavored Jack and Aged Cheddar.
Shopping Note: Purchase approximately 1.5 ounces of each variety for the number of individual cheese plates you plan to serve. For example: 4 cheese plates x 1.5 ounces per plate = 6 ounces of Baby Swiss.
