Gorgonzola with Walnut Compote
You can easily put together a cheese platter with 2 or more choices. Simply vary the cheeses by milk (cow’s, goat’s, sheep’s or a blend), texture (creamy to firm) and flavor (mild to strong). For example, assemble a farmhouse cheddar, a fresh goat cheese and a pungent blue. Serve with wedges of pear or apple and toasted almonds.
