Serve a Super Bowl Cheese Platter

It's that time of the year again for the Super Bowl-where you can eat to your heart's content and oh, watch the big game. Let's be honest here, I'm excited for the food. I enjoy the bar fare that's typically served on Super Bowl Sunday; however, I like switching things up by serving a cheese platter. I conceptualized a Seattle Seahawks platter made up of cheeses of the Pacific Northwest: Rogue Creamery's Oregonzola and Washington's Beecher's Flagship (also mentioned here). I've added Wisconsin's Sartori Espresso BellaVitano to represent the coffee city of Seattle.

The sweet and earthy black truffle honey is the perfect complement to the deep flavors of Espresso BellaVitano and the sharpness of Oregonzola and Beecher's Flagship. Columbus salami adds a meaty, savory element to the platter, and the walnut bread is that necessary nutty component that brings it all together. Touch down.
