Tagliere italiano con confetture e sottoli Minnelea

Cheese board accompaniments: preserves, peppers and bread

Accompaniments complete a board when they are easy to choose and serve. This guide focuses on preserves, vegetables in oil and bread. Cheese selection and quantities have their own guides.

  • Tagliere set for cheese pairings

    Fig, black bilberry, apricot and peppers in extra virgin olive oil. Four jars to accompany your own selection of cheese. Cheese, bread and accessories are not included.

Serve preserves in separate bowls

Keep fig, black bilberry and apricot separate. Put a teaspoon beside each bowl and leave room for cheese and cured meats. You need not empty the jar onto the board: replenish according to your guests’ requests.

Keep vegetables in oil away from bread

Drain the portion of peppers you want to serve and put it in a separate dish. Avoid placing bread underneath the vegetables so everyone can assemble their own bite. Follow the label for the product remaining in the jar.

Plain bread and crisp alternatives

Choose bread with a fairly neutral flavour; crackers or crispbread are optional additions. Keep them away from wet ingredients and consider their ingredients when serving guests with specific dietary needs.

What the set brings to the table

Minnelea’s Tagliere set contains fig, black bilberry and apricot preserves plus peppers in extra virgin olive oil. It is not a complete prepared board: choose cheese, cured meats, bread, bowls and accessories separately.
