There’s something about a good cheese board that makes people relax, gather around, and stay a little longer. Chef and TV personality Julie Hartigan shares how a few simple pairings can make spring entertaining feel special without turning hosting into a whole production.

Her ideas include Wood River Creamery Cheddar Gruyere with oatcakes, blueberries, and caramel, BelGioioso Burrata with berries, granola, and honey, and a few sweet-and-savory surprises like Kingston Amish Farms Blue Cheese with a sugar cookie and sage. She also shares why looking for the Proudly Wisconsin Cheese badge can help bring standout flavor to brunch, casual get-togethers, and those last-minute “come over” moments.
