Each cheese plate features three perfectly complementary cheeses—all with suggested alternates—for a total of 150 cheeses you’re bound to love. With every cheese plate and cheese pictured, it’s easy to know what you’re looking for when you get to the store, what wine styles go with which cheeses, and even how to serve it.
