Goat Cheese Balls

Cheese platter where savory and sweet go together perfectly!

Nice to know:
A good cheese platter is an art of itself. The possibilities are endless and a standard cheese platter does not exist. Choose sorts of cheese in different tastes and strengths, from mild and soft to fragrant and spicy with character. Every sort of cheese of course needs its own cheese knife. Be sure to get the cheese out of the fridge at least two hours before use and unwrap the cheeses. In this way, they can get the right temperature which will benefit the taste. Count on 75-100 grams of cheese per person for a buffet of dessert and 125-150 grams of cheese per person for a lunch. Present it with dairy butter, different sorts of bread, toast, chutney, dried fruits, fresh fruits and/or (unsalted) nuts. Bread and toast are used to naturalize the taste between the different sorts of cheese and wine. Besides a culinary surprise, as cheese platter is also a real eyecatcher. Sort your cheese platter to your own preference and serve the cheese on a beautiful platter of luxurious, modern (glass) plates.

Preparation

  1. Make the goat cheese balls by folding a piece of goat cheese around a grape in the palm of your hand. Make sure all sides are covered with a thin layer. Roll for even distribution. Place a walnut from the Honey Walnut on the ball. The amount of goat cheese is enough for at least 12 balls. These balls can easily be prepared a day in advance. Garnish at the last minute with the walnut.
  2. Present the goat cheese balls, Aceitunas Dulces rellenas con Higos cheeses, grapes and fig wedges together as a cheese dessert or delicious drinks accompaniment.
  3. Tip:The cheeses listed are a selection of Italian cheeses. Parmesan goes particularly well with Chutney Mango & Spices; the Fontina and Provolone are delicious when eaten alternately with the Dried Fig Spread en Chutney Tomato & Onion.
