It’s National Smorging Week.

If you are wondering what smorging is, well, let me tell you…

Smorging is based on the Scandinavian Smørgåsbord, a buffet-style meal containing both hot and cold dishes of various foods on a table.

Castello adapted it and has turned it into the art of smorging, so you can enjoy your cheese in style.

There is even an official ‘guide to smorging’ 🙂

Castello’s How to Smorg Guide?

• Grab a selection of bases such as crusty bread, slices of rye bread, crisp breads, crackers, or toast.
• Plan the rest of your ingredients, or root around and see what you can find to make up your board!
• Try to find a range of tastes to include: salty, sweet, sour, and umami (a savoury taste). And try to include a range of textures too so that there is a balance between crunchy and soft. It is the combinations of tastes and textures that make each and every Smorging session unique!
• Choose your favourite Castello cheeses and get them out of the fridge, along with some butter, to warm up for 30 minutes.
• Present your selection on some kind of platter – a wooden or slate board is perfect, or even just a large plate.
• Most importantly, remember, you can’t go wrong! Have fun with it and make the best of what you’ve got. Don’t be afraid about trying out new combinations and see what happens!
