Ingredients

Cornish Yarg
Saint Agur
Pi D’Angloy
Crackers or crisp flatbreads, to serve
Ripe fragrant fruits, such as figs and pears, to serve
Freshly shelled nuts, such as walnuts, to serve

Method

We’ve chosen a semi-hard Cornish Yarg, with its characteristic green nettle leaf rind, moist, crumbly yet creamy texture and gentle tang; a creamy French blue, Saint Agur, which is strong yet soft and melts in the mouth; and finally Pi D’Angloy, a full-bodied, rich, soft cheese from Burgundy, with a fruity flavour and a soft edible rind.
Serve at room temperature with crackers or crisp flatbreads; ripe fragrant fruits, such as figs and pears; and some freshly shelled nuts, such as walnuts.

The trick to putting together a good cheeseboard is to choose just three cheeses, but make sure they show a variety in texture and flavour.
