Wine and cheese parties
Making your Cheese Tasting a Success
Cheese tastings include several servings that, just as a full course meal, grow stronger in consistency, taste and flavour, moving from fresh, bland, mild, to full-bodied, with the strongest tasting served last. Serve cheeses in the following sequence by type.
- Fresh and goat cheeses.
- Flowered or washed rind soft cheeses.
- Semi-firm cheeses
- Firm cheeses
- Blue-veined cheeses
- Hard cheeses
Please consult Quebec's Specialty Cheeses list to know which cheeses belong to which families.
