The Cheese Course

Nothing is more simply satisfying than a plate of “serious” cheese, some bread and a compatible wine to complement the flavors.

Shown here are a collection of artisanal cheeses offered at Burdick’s Restaurant in Walpole. All are locally produced and are as unique as their makers.

Next time you are in a fine restaurant give the cheese plate a try, as either a small plate meal or final course. Rich, smooth and creamy — you’ll be surprised by the diversity of flavor coaxed from milk and a bit of culture.
