From the ideal serving temperature and correct storage to stylish cutting techniques and creative accompaniments – these tips will help to bring out the full flavor of the cheese and present it in the best possible way. So every cheese platter becomes a moment of pleasure.

Tips for temperature, storage and presentation

  1. Temperature when eating
    Cheese should never be eaten too cold, but should be taken out of the fridge for one to two hours. Only at the right temperature can cheese develop its full flavor.
  2. Storage
    For storage, temperatures between five and eight degrees are recommended for soft cheeses. Hard and semi-hard cheeses keep well at temperatures between five and twelve degrees, while fresh cheese should be stored at a temperature of five degrees. If too much cheese is left over and you tend to freeze it, be careful as the structure of the cheese can change. Care should also be taken as cheese tends to take on the taste of food stored nearby. Cheese should therefore not be stored near foods with a strong taste of their own.
  3. Slicing
    Although pre-packed cheese cut into slices goes well on children's snacks, it is not the ideal way to enjoy cheese and is certainly not recommended for your guests. It is better to serve cheese in small cubes or cut into sticks. The consistency, texture and taste are better enjoyed in larger pieces.
  4. Chutneys, jams & co
    To add a little zing to a cheese platter, we recommend using chutneys, jams and mustard sauces.
  5. Mould
    Sliced and hard cheeses generally have a long shelf life. Over time, mold forms, but this is not dangerous as no toxins are formed. You can easily scrape off the mold with a knife or scraping tool and enjoy the rest of the cheese. White mold cheese, on the other hand, does not keep as long, as it continues to ripen and tastes more and more intense over time. Cream cheese or mozzarella should not be moldy.

Smart instead of sweet

The future of patisserie

Vegan and reduced-sugar desserts that last, shine, and impress guests: Sugar is not the enemy, but it is not the solution either. Modern patisserie thinks ahead—more precisely, more plant-based, more consciously.

Away from the “sugar = taste” reflex, toward texture intelligence, aroma control, and clean technique. Modern patisserie works vegan, reduced-sugar—and often completely without classic table sugar. The matrix, process, and calculation are crucial. About desserts that perform professionally: stable, precise, highly aromatic.
