Halloween entertaining calls for a cheese board with a little drama, and the easiest way to get there? Start with black and orange. Two standout cheeses bring the seasonal colors to the table while offering plenty of flavor and texture to keep guests reaching for another bite.
For the black: GRAND NOIR from Käserei Champignon Hofmeister. This premium blue cheese is encased in striking black wax, making it an instant showpiece on a Halloween board. Made from the milk of Swiss Brown cows grazing in Germany’s Allgäu region of Bavaria, GRAND NOIR has a stronger blue character balanced by an exceptionally smooth, luscious texture and a rich, creamy mouthfeel. The black wax gives it serious visual impact—no spooky decorations required.
For the orange: Isigny Mimolette. Its naturally deep orange color brings instant fall appeal, while its character develops beautifully with age. Young Mimolette is soft, supple, and fruity; as it matures, it becomes more intense and brittle, adding a completely different experience to the board.
Pair the two with seasonal fruit, nuts, crackers, and a few dark or autumnal accents for a Halloween spread that looks the part—and tastes even better.
