Making a Cheese Tray with Cracker Barrel Limited Edition Cheese (Review)

I love cheese. If I see a cheese tray, I will head straight for it. Crackers, cheese, and wine...YUM! My idea of an appetizer.


Plus, it's a really easy appetizer to make or bring to an event.  I like to put familiar flavors that people will like and not be afraid to try, yet slightly different so that it doesn't seem like something just anyone could put together.


Cracker Barrel has a limited edition cheese out right now until January 1st.  It's an aged white cheddar with slightly nutty, sweet notes.  It's familiar enough that you aren't going to scare people off yet different enough to be special.

I'd make a cheese tray with this kind of cheese, then a hard cheese, then a creamy cheese. Whole grain crackers and then maybe some pita chips- because that is what I like. Round it out with some red grapes. And of course a bottle of wine nearby. Though if you tried to eat all of my Cracker Barrel cheese, I might stab you with my cheese fork. Accidentally, of course.

I have to admit, though, that the first package of this Limited Edition Holiday Reserve Cheese that we went through- we basically just sliced and ate.  It was that good. But, we did take some and add it to a spinach salad with a balsamic vinaigrette. That was so good, too.

It's a way to add a different flavor to your holidays without breaking the bank....the gifts for the kids already did that, right?

Look for Cracker Barrel's Limited Edition Holiday Reserve Cheese at your local grocery store.
