New Year's Cheese Plate
Description
Choose cheese varieties to suit your taste, as not everyone likes moldy cheeses—some people prefer ordinary processed cheese products. Pair them with ingredients that perfectly complement their flavor without overpowering it. To slice the cheese, coat the knife with vegetable oil. It can be served warm or chilled.
