Say Cheese!
If you want to indulge your guests on your wedding day and treat them to something spectacular, you can’t go past a cheese tower. Thats right…tower! Stacked with oozing layers of hard and soft cheeses, it’s an amazing way to add variety into any of your courses.
Cheese is a great snack food that when paired with some nice crackers or toppings will give your guests something to rave about for days to weeks to come.
A tower is not a tower without a variety of cheeses to shout all tastebuds. From a hard and savoury cheddar to a sweet and soft Sinodun Hill. Incorporating different colours and textures is ideal as it adds depth and aesthetic to the tower. To add a more rustic feel to the tower, surround your tower with vines of grapes, chutney, fruits, a variety of crackers… the list goes on!
There are so many ways to tie in a cheese tower with your wedding reception. As an appetiser, each table can boast a mini-cheese display that guests can dig into before any plated meals arrive, or a few communal cheese towers stationed around the venue is a great way to get your friends up and about and mingling with each other. Alternatively a cheese tower can also be an addition to an entree or main meal. Usually, 70g-100g of cheese per person is ideal for a normal serving plate. But lets be honest, not many people can control themselves when it comes to delicious cheese! So make sure to have plenty extra, particularly the smaller top layers, as they’re usually first to go.
Always order your cheese tower well in advance and be sure to speak to your supplier to ensure your cheese is perfectly ripe on the day. Hard and soft cheeses, ripen and different rates and should be at room temperature when you serve it so it’s not too cold out of the fridge.
To make sure your cheese tower goes off without a hitch, its important to find a good supplier. Our good friends at Farmgate Cheese are a globally known brand that launched in Melbourne over 7 years ago. They are experts in all things cheese and have even served their products on board QANTAS Airline routes.

Farmgate Cheese can also provide personalised jam and jellies as special bonbonniere gifts that can be handed out to your guests when the night is over.
Be careful though, because once you take a bite from a cheese tower, you’ll never want to eat regular cake again!
