Cheese platters have evolved from simple presentations of farmhouse cheeses to elaborate displays reflecting local terroir and cheesemaking traditions. The history is intertwined with the history of cheesemaking itself, dating back thousands of years, and evolving across regions with unique climates, livestock, and techniques. Royal courts and monasteries often played a pivotal role in refining cheesemaking skills and creating distinct regional variations.

The flavors of a cheese platter are incredibly diverse, ranging from mild and creamy to sharp and pungent, depending on the cheeses selected. Textures also vary greatly, from soft and spreadable to firm and crumbly.
The flavor profiles are dictated by the type of milk used (cow, sheep, goat), the aging process, and any added ingredients or washes. Common flavors include milky, nutty, earthy, grassy, tangy, salty, sweet, and spicy. Bloomy rind cheeses offer mushroomy and buttery notes, while washed rind cheeses are often more pungent and robust. Hard cheeses can have crystalline structures that provide a pleasant crunch and intense flavors.
