Image Description: This cheese plate photograph looks to be an example of the classic after-dinner cheese plate with a small side salad of tomatoes and lettuce. It is a tradition that a cheese plate have an odd number of cheeses – 3, 5, 7, etc – because it is visually pleasing, evidenced by the fact that odd numbers are represented in other arts. This plate has five different cheeses that look to be brie, a blue cheese, chevre, a monterey jack, and a great slice of swiss. A great cheese plate is one that has a good mixture from each category; aged cheeses like cheddar or swiss, soft cheeses including brie and camembert, firm cheeses like provolone and monterey jack, blue cheeses, and something from the realm of goat or sheep cheeses.
