Not all cheeses are created equal — and not all gatherings call for the same selection. At Graze Social, we hand-pick our cheeses to suit the vibe. Here’s how to match your moment to the perfect wedge:

For intimate nights in: Choose soft, indulgent cheeses like brie or triple cream. Add a glass of wine and you’ve got instant romance.

For big celebrations: Go bold. A mature cheddar or blue cheese adds character and punch to a party platter.

For family-friendly grazes: Stick with approachable favourites — mozzarella, red Leicester, or mild gouda. Add fruit and dips for balance.

For brunch or picnics: Lighter cheeses like goat’s cheese or fresh ricotta pair beautifully with seasonal fruit and crusty bread.

And remember — there’s no wrong cheese when shared with the right people.

Our boards always include a carefully selected mix to match the moment — so whatever you’re celebrating, we’ll bring the cheese that feels just right.
