When I think about the perfect cheese board, my mind immediately turns to Harmons Grocery Stores. With nearly 200 different cheeses available, it’s every cheese lover’s dream come true. And let me tell you, I’ve tried them all. From the soft and creamy bries to the sharp and tangy cheddars, Harmons has it all.
To start off, let’s talk about my absolute favorite cheese from Harmons – the triple cream brie. This cheese is so smooth and creamy that it practically melts in your mouth. I love pairing it with some fresh berries and a crisp white wine. It’s the perfect addition to any wine and cheese night with friends.
Moving on to the harder cheeses, Harmons has an amazing selection of aged cheddars. These cheeses are packed with flavor and really pack a punch. One of my favorites is the 2-year aged cheddar. It has a sharp and tangy taste that pairs perfectly with some crusty bread and a glass of red wine.
And of course, we can’t forget about the goat cheeses. Harmons has such a variety of goat cheeses, from soft and tangy to hard and crumbly. I love using the soft goat cheese in a warm goat cheese salad with mixed greens and some roasted nuts. It’s the perfect lunchtime treat.
Now, onto the recipe. I’m going to share one of my go-to appetizers that always impresses my guests – a fig and goat cheese crostini. It’s simple yet elegant, and the flavors work so well together.
