While it can be cut in small rectangular shapes as you would in a log, you can also dig a knife into the cheese and let it crumble at the breaking point, making it look more natural on the cheeseboard.

Soft Cheese Wheel

Cheese like Brie is usually soft and formed in a wheel. For easy ways to store and serve this kind of cheese, cut it diagonally from the centre of the cheese, making small wedges.

Log Cheese

Fresh goat cheese like the Chevre comes in the form of logs and are some of the easiest shapes in cheese to cut or store. Easily served on a cheese board, make sure to cut the log into moderately thin slices, not too thick or thin to avoid crumbling and give a desirable presentation.
