The K-Man and I had several cheese plates last week while in the World.
For us, the most memorable and unique was Jiko's.
It had some cheeses on it that we had not tasted before and they were served at room temperature.
We found most restaurants served their cheeses cold from the chiller.
When cheese is served cold, it doesn't give off the subtle taste differences.
BIGGEST offender was Bistro De Paris. Their cheese plate was ice cold.
Here is a picture of Jiko's Cheese Plate:
I don't have all the cheese names with me right now. BUT, let me tell you the condiments they were served with were outstanding.
On the left is cilantro, although I thought it tasted more like celery leaves.
Next is dried apricots that were poached in pomergranite juice.
In the bowl is a spice mixed berry compote....YUMMY!
And finally another traditional condiment, toasted fig bread.
