How to Put Together the Perfect Cheese Board with the Cheese Basket

The Tuscan Cheese Gift Basket contains everything you need to create a professional-quality Tuscan cheese board.

Serving temperature: Bring all the cheeses to room temperature at least 30 minutes before serving. At 18-20°C, the aromatic profiles of each cheese fully emerge, and the notes of chili, pepper, hay, and walnuts are much more pronounced than in cold cheeses.

L's recommended tasting order: Start with the milder cheeses and work your way toward the more intense ones:

1. Maremma Pecorino: the classic: start with the foundation of Tuscan tradition
2. Hay Pecorino: delicate, enveloping aromatic notes of hay
3. Walnut Pecorino: the walnuts’ crunch enhances the aged pecorino
4. Pepper Cheese: the pepper’s spiciness begins to shape the tasting journey
5. Chili Cheese: the liveliest and most lingering: finish with a bold note

• Pear jam: the ideal sweet-and-savory contrast with Walnut Pecorino
• Fresh grapes or fig jam: a classic pairing with all semi-hard cheeses
