W hether they’re nestled into a cheese board, popped into vases, or handed out as hors d’oeuvres, cheese roses are an elegant way to enjoy the best thing of all: cheese. We’ve put together a guide with all the best tips and tricks to making beautiful, tasty cheese roses. It’s way easier than you’d think, we promise!

The Best Cheese for Cheese Roses

Cheese roses are best made with young cheeses that are springy and flexible, so you can roll the slices without them tearing. Aged cheeses, while delicious, have less moisture—causing them to be brittle and crack easily. Thin slices of a younger cheese are best—aim for around 1/8” thickness for best results. While you can slice your own cheeses, especially with a good cheese knife, we recommend making your life easier and ordering from a deli counter or local cheesemonger. They can slice the cheese easily and precisely for you, so you can focus more on what really counts: what-wine or beer you’ll pair with your soon-to-be cheese roses!
