5 Simple Ways to Elevate Your Next Cheese Night
There’s something undeniably special about gathering around a beautifully curated cheese board with friends or family. Whether it’s an impromptu midweek treat or a planned evening of indulgence, the right elements can turn a simple snack into an unforgettable experience. Here are five ways to take your next cheese night to the next level—with a little help from Jane & the Jam.
1. Start with the Perfect Selection of Cheeses
A great cheese board begins with variety. Aim for a mix of textures and flavors: a creamy Brie, a sharp aged cheddar, a tangy blue, and something unique like a nutty alpine cheese. At Jane & the Jam, we offer a carefully curated selection of local and imported cheeses to make your board truly stand out. Not sure where to start? Ask us for recommendations in-store!
2. Add Unique Accents
Cheese is just the beginning. The best boards include a mix of complementary flavors and textures. Think sweet, salty, and savory: dried apricots, honeycomb, candied nuts, or a dollop of our artisanal jams. For something unexpected, try our house-pickled vegetables or a drizzle of floral honey to bring out the complexity in every bite
3. Pair It with the Right Wine
The right wine elevates every cheese night. A crisp white complements creamy cheeses, while a bold red brings out the depth in aged varieties. At Jane & the Jam, our selection of natural wines includes something for every palate. Not sure what to choose? Stop by and let us guide you to the perfect pairing—or book a table at The Secret Wine Bar to experience it all without the prep.
4. Play with Presentation
A stunning presentation makes all the difference. Arrange cheeses in odd numbers (three or five pieces look best) and fan out crackers or bread for an elegant touch. Scatter nuts and dried fruits across the board for a relaxed, natural feel. Want to keep it simple? Our pre-made grazing boards are as beautiful as they are delicious.
5. Let Us Do the Work
Short on time or just want to enjoy the evening without the hassle? Pre-order one of our expertly crafted cheese boards for pick-up, complete with everything you need for a perfect night. Or, for an effortless yet elevated experience, book a table at The Secret Wine Bar and let us take care of everything. We promise—the ambiance, the wine, and the cheese are all unforgettable.
