Each cheese plate features three perfectly complementary cheeses—all with suggested alternates—for a total of 150 cheeses you’re bound to love. With every cheese plate and cheese pictured, it’s easy to know what you’re looking for when you get to the store, what wine styles go with which cheeses, and even how to serve it.
Learn how to pronounce the cheese, who makes it, what type of milk is used, the country of origin, and which three adjectives (e.g. mellow, nutty, sweet) most aptly describe it. Slightly longer descriptions give you more details about texture and the story behind the cheese to read when you have time—perfect for party planning before you head to the store (or while you’re in line waiting to be helped).

Salute to Spain (Manchego, Queso de la Peral, Leonora)

A Range of Rinds (Red Hawk, Camembert, Comté)
Famous for Centuries (Roncal, Pont L’evêque, Coulommiers)

Reviews
perfect cheese app!
I heart cheese plate
Coming from Chronicle Books, it's no surprise that photography is mouthwateringly beautiful but I was surprised by what a difference such gorgeous graphics can make to the experience of an app use. These photos are handy visual reference of cheese for sure, but are also giving me so many wonderful ideas about how to serve them. Putting together a cheese plate is almost always for entertaining in our house, so I always wanted to learn about how to plate them as much as selecting them. Using wooden cutting board as a plate....Layering a small and larger plates to separate different kind of cheese... So many smart and elegant presentation ideas that I can't wait to try. Also, I am not a big fan of carrying a book to a market. It's heavy and bulky, and I don't love the book gets dirty during the trip. This app might not be as comprehensive as some of the cheese reference books, but it's a perfect on-the-go alternative. Besides, the information packed in this app is actually more than enough for my casual everyday reference. There is a section that shows many themed cheese plate ideas. Another section is a reference in which I can search cheese by country or type, look up cheese terms, learn tips etc. And I love love love that each cheese comes with wine paring suggestions! I am already excited about inviting friends over for cheese and wine... Great app. My enthusiastic two thumbs up!
Amazing App
Bruiser_22
Out of the 100's of Apps I currently have, this is by far the most useful. Between the photography, references and how to guide I am never lost when buying cheese for myself or a party. I am able to purchase the perfect pairings everytime while looking like an expert. I also love that I can research ahead of time before going to store which allows me to get in and out. The only issue I have is the amount of information available so at first I was a bit overwhelmed but I am now able to navigate right through the App. ll definitely be following all the Apps from this seller!!
New resource foodie shoppers!
Cheese rookie
This is an informative and thorough resource for cheese shoppers and aspiring foodies! This app makes fantastic use of color photos as a visual guide on what to look for in the supermarket when trying a new cheese. I'd love to see additional guides on how to build a cheese plate for parties with answers to questions such as: how much cheese should I buy per person? What types of jellies, olives, nuts, or crackers should I pair with the cheeses I've bought to complete my cheese plate? If I have this wine, which cheese can I pair with it? Overall, a detailed and enlightening guide for soon-to-be cheese connoisseurs.
Holy cow (sheep and goat)!

I have found this app to be amazing! When visiting my local grocery store, there are so many cheeses to choose from that in the past I just go for ones I know I like instead of venturing out and trying new ones and the info in this app has really helped me branch out and discover some new favorites! There are a ton of cheeses in here, and a lot of really great pairing suggestions, for wines and other cheeses!!! I've even been out to dinner, discovered a new cheese I liked, looked it up in this app and it's there! I highly recommend this app!
Great Cheese App!

This app is so helpful. Not only is there useful information about the individual cheeses and cheese pairings, it provides suggestions for alternative cheeses and suggests wines for the pairings as well. Its a handy tool wrapped in a beautiful package.
Plenty to choose from here!
I'm cheesy
I'm always stuck with too many choices at the cheese counter. And the cheesemonger is often fielding questions from other shoppers, so this app is perfect for me. I can pick a cheese and quickly find others that go well with it. The wine suggestions just make it even more useful for me.
Informative and easy-to-use!

Great app!! Easy interface that tells you everything you'd want to know about cheese, including what to pair with it. A must have for putting together a wine and cheese night!
Cheese...mmmm...cheese

This is a great app -- easy to use, beautiful photography, and TONS of content. Definitely comes in handy when I'm staring at the cheese selection at the store. This makes me want to host a party and do an around the world cheese tasting! They have different themed cheese plates such as "Salute to Spain" and "Spotlight Northern Italy". The wine pairings for the different cheeses are the icing on the cake.
Where are the Greek cheeses??
BorBor
Nice app, but missing the amazing cheeses of Greece. How can you omit feta, myzithra, kaseri, kefalograviera - to mention only a few- from an app about cheese?
room to improve
chriscourtney
The pictures are nice, but there is a lot to improve for someone that really knows and enjoys cheese. Details such as Parmigiano Reggiano being listed as a French cheese showed that this app was really thrown together without much thought. I live in Paris and know cheese from France, Italy and Spain. I was very excited to see this app but after downloading I wanted to get my money back. I expected something much more in depth and interesting. A great app if you know nothing at all about cheese.
