Your aromatic portrait

You know an 18-month aged hard cheese from a 30-month one. You know which season suits a washed-rind. You get your cheese from a monger you trust. You build composed boards, never random: a fresh goat for brightness, an aged hard cheese for depth, a blue for power, a tomme for terroir. You pair with rare honeys, fig jams, dried fruit. You serve the right bread. You know sea salt on a fresh cheese changes everything, and that a single round peppercorn on an aged hard cheese reveals it. You care a lot about the wine, often mineral whites, sometimes light reds. You always finish with cheese before dessert, the French way. You hate boards that mix everything with no logic.
