Why Bedford Cheese Shop?

Bedford Cheese Shop cheese platters are stunning, delicious, edible pieces of art for any cheese catering occasion or really, any occasion at all. Our cheeses are sourced from small local, national, and international farms, they look too gorgeous to eat, but don’t let that stop you!!!  Dive into these beauties any opportunity you get!  Each of our hand created made to order cheese platters are intentionally constructed with meticulous care by one of our talented 2 to 4 varieties are included, such as bloomy, washed rind, creamy, tangy, stinky, melt-in-your-mouth, semi-hard, or hard selections (just to name a few).  They are specifically sliced for two reasons, one, to display their beauty, and two, to offer a perfect mouth amount allowing the cheese to be enjoyed at its best.  Paired accoutrements are nestled throughout offering unexpected or tried and true perfect bite combinations.  Depending on the season and/or occasion these options may include dried fruits, crunchy nuts, zesty cornichons, briny olives, fresh fruit, honey, and/or jam (again, just to name a few). And let us not forget the mouth-watering charcuterie.  Not every platter has cured meats, so choose wisely, but should you decide that YES…  Charcuterie is desired, we offer a mix of thinly sliced and tantalizingly displayed prosciutto, mortadella, salami, and paté.  They are as beautiful as they are satisfying.   Cheese platters can be ordered online, or in our shop, for cheese tray delivery or pick-up.

You have a BCS cheese platter, now, what to pair it with?

The beverage pairings are endless.  Follow established rules, bourbon with gouda, gin or whiskey with cheddar, vodka with blue, tequila with manchego, rosé with burrata and Chèvre, sparkling wines with incredibly soft selections, or bold reds with hard options like Parmigiano-Reggiano or pecorino.  Perhaps go off the beaten path with your cheese platter catering pairings, an aged Oolong tea with gouda, coffee with a comté or triple cream, hot chocolate with blue cheese.  These ideas are meant to offer guidance, where you and your guests go from there is up to you! Referencing food pairings, aside from the ones nestled on your cheese platter or charcuterie platter they can boost the cheese flavor.  To that end, when you order your cheese platter on-line, or in the shop, there are many specialty grocery options available for your pairing pleasure.  These range from delicious, local, small batch sweet and savory jams and honeys, to hard artisan salamis and house made spreads to the unconventional in the realm of hot sauces and tahini.... Your perfect cheese bite is yours for the making!
