A CLOSER TASTE
About the dish
Four cheeses make a small tasting at the table. Brie, Parmesan, caciotta and Maasdam each have their own texture and character. Taste them individually before adding other starters, making it easier to discover your favourite in the selection.
Flavour and serving
Change the tasting order and return to cheeses you have already tried. This helps you notice how the different varieties influence your impression of the plate.
For a cheese-focused tasting, this plate offers more comparisons than a starter built around one cheese. Burrata is paired primarily with tomato, while this selection is about four varieties together. Choose one type of bread to try with each cheese; the consistent base helps make the differences between the cheeses easier to notice.
What to try alongside
Choose bread separately to accompany the cheeses. If you are also ordering spreads, a bread basket can serve as a shared accompaniment to both starters.
Try it with
If you have a food allergy or intolerance, tell your waiter before ordering. Ask the restaurant team about the full ingredients and possible substitutions.
