🧀 The Perfect Christmas Cheeseboard — with Love Cheese
When it comes to festive feasting, nothing says Christmas indulgence quite like a perfectly curated cheeseboard. It’s the centrepiece that brings everyone together — something to linger over, nibble from, and share stories around.
This year, make your Christmas cheeseboard extra special with a little help from Love Cheese — York’s home of artisan cheeses, fine wines, and all things delicious. Whether you’re hosting a cosy family gathering or a grand festive bash, here’s everything you need to create a show-stopping cheeseboard using some of our favourite products from lovecheese.co.uk.
A great cheeseboard is all about variety — mixing textures, milk types, and flavours so every guest finds their favourite.
🧈 Soft & Creamy
You can’t go wrong with a buttery Brie de Meaux or a local soft goat’s cheese. Spreadable, rich, and oh-so-moreish, these cheeses set the tone for indulgence.

🧀 Hard & Aged
For a stronger, nuttier option, try the 24-Month Comté — a crowd-pleaser with crystalline texture and deep caramel notes. It’s the cheese that keeps you coming back for “just one more bite.”

💙 Blue & Beautiful
No Christmas cheeseboard is complete without a blue! We love Cropwell Bishop Stilton — rich, creamy, and beautifully balanced with a little festive sweetness.

🐐 Something a Little Different
Add a tangy Yorkshire Pecorino Fresco or a soft goat’s log to surprise your guests. These bring a lovely freshness that lifts heavier festive flavours.

A cheeseboard is only as good as its accompaniments — and luckily, Love Cheese has plenty to choose from.
- Crackers & Breadsticks – Add texture with a mix of plain and seeded varieties.
- Chutneys & Jams – Our Tracklements Fig Relish or Cranberry, Port & Orange Chutney are absolute musts.
- Fruit & Nuts – Grapes, figs, dried apricots and candied walnuts look beautiful and taste even better.

What’s cheese without a little wine? (That’s a rhetorical question.)
- Sparkling wines like Prosecco or Verdiso make Brie and soft cheeses sing.
- Full-bodied reds like Rioja or Malbec bring out the best in Comté and aged cheddar.
- Sweet wines or port are the ultimate match for blue cheese — rich, luxurious, and oh-so Christmassy.
