How much cheese should I buy?

For a cheeseboard allow around 75g-100g approximately of cheese in total for each guest. Therefore if you are serving 10 people and have 4 cheeses, you would serve around 1kg in total, so about of 250g of each cheese.

The amount of cheese required will also depend on whether the cheeses are to be served after dinner, at a tasting or as finger food etc. The manner in which the cheese is to be served – whether as individual cheese plates, buffet style, or as cheeseboards – will also affect the quantities required.
