How to create the ultimate cheeseboard
Round off any meal in style with a hand-picked range of the finest cheeses, sourced by our experts from the very best European producers. Choose a selection with a variety of flavours and textures.
- Creamy and soft
Try our intensely flavoured Berthaut époisses; rich, creamy and decadent vacherin mont d’or; indulgent and robust brie de meaux; mild and fragrant English goat’s cheese; decadent, creamy pavé d’affinois and must-try Collection truffle-filled brie.
- Tangy and intense
To contrast, add cheeses like our rich, deeply savoury Cropwell Bishop stilton; exclusive 3-year-old Cornish Cruncher cheddar and our Roquefort Révélation, with its deep umami notes. All of these cheeses pair brilliantly with fruit and port.
- Nutty and sweet
Complete your selection with our Le Crêt réserve gruyère, which has nutty caramel notes; a wedge of sweet, complex comté and some nutty De La Huz queso manchego curado, which works a treat with walnuts and a drizzle of honey.
Allow around 65g of cheese per person, and let them come up to room temperature before serving to enjoy the flavours at their fullest. Then go all out with crackers, fresh fruit, chutneys and your favourite drinks – check out some of our favourite pairing suggestions below.
Three-year-old Cornish Cruncher cheddar
Produced at the Davidstow creamery in Cornwall, this cheese has been made to an exclusive M&S recipe. Typically matured for 36 months for a savoury flavour and crunchy lactate crystals.
Try it with: crunchy apples and celery
Berthaut époisses AOP
Crafted in Burgundy, France, this cheese is carefully hand-washed nine times. It’s wonderfully soft and creamy, with a fragrant, savoury flavour.
Try it with: a drizzle of truffle oil
Brie de meaux AOP
Made in the Lorraine region of north-west France, this award-winning cheese is hand-turned for a full-bodied flavour and irresistibly gooey texture.
Try it with: fresh grapes and figs
Call in for some comté
Smooth, creamy and with a complex sweet and savoury flavour, our delicious comté has hints of hazelnut and toffee. It’s perfect on crackers, or try using it to make a soufflé, veggie tart or toasted sandwich.
Beautiful burrata
Take the very best mozzarella, combine it with rich cream and what do you get? Our incredible Italian burrata. Made in Puglia from the silkiest mozzarella, this soft cheese has an amazingly creamy centre.
Try some of our tasty ideas:
- Keep it simple by placing the burrata on top of tomatoes and basil. Finish with a drizzle of olive oil and some cracked black pepper. Serve with warm ciabatta.
- Add the burrata to the centre of your favourite pizza after cooking. Break into the burrata and dip the crusts in the centre.
- Roast cherry tomatoes, a few cloves of garlic and a sprinkling of rosemary in the oven with a generous glug of olive oil. Once the tomatoes are blistered, stir through some cooked pasta. Serve with torn burrata and basil leaves on top.

Hand-picked pairings
The only thing better than cheese? Wine and cheese, of course. Try these cracking flavour combos from French wine aficionado Fred Sirieix.
- Gruyère: champagne, cava or a fruity red, such as a burgundy or Côtes du Rhône, all pair beautifully with gruyère’s nutty caramel notes.
- Cornish Cruncher cheddar: it has to be a glass of Bordeaux.
- Brie de meaux: serve with a glass of white Burgundy, a light, fruity red, such as Pinot Noir or Gamay, or even a lager or spicy saison beer.
