A basic cheese platter should have three types of cheeses to represent each of the different milk types : cow, goat and sheep. Always keep flavor and texture in mind. For this platter, the flavors are all mild-to-medium, but the textures are all different. 3, record 1, English, - cheese%20platter

For a cheese platter 38 cm(15 in) in diameter thicker cane is used, as the larger a piece of work is, the thicker and stronger the cane must be. The techniques are similar to those used for making the smaller mats. The cheese platter is simply a larger version. 1, record 3, English, - cheese%20platter

Pour réaliser un plateau à fromage de 30 cm de diamètre, on utilise un rotin épais, car plus la taille de l'ouvrage augmente, plus le rotin doit être épais et robuste. Les techniques utilisées ici sont analogues à celles des dessous-de-plat dont le plateau à fromage n'est qu'une version agrandie. 1, record 3, French, - plateau%20%C3%A0%20fromage
