Waiting can be difficult, especially when that cheese plate is just sitting there calling your name and begging to be devoured, but your patience will pay off. It&#8217;s a scientific fact that cold cheese is just not as flavorful.<\/p>\n<p>Cheese <a href=\"https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/cheese-bites\/creamy-decadent-delicious-debunking-butterfat\" target=\"_blank\">consists of proteins, carbohydrates, and fat molecules<\/a>, but it&#8217;s the fat molecules that give a cheese all its tastiness and fat reacts to temperature. When a cheese is cold, the fat molecules contract and hold in all the flavor. The fat cannot spread across your taste buds as easily if it&#8217;s cold, and then it&#8217;s too late. However, when a cheese is warmer the fat molecules can relax and the flavor is released. &nbsp;This is exactly why the thought of warm gooey cheese makes your mouth water.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>According Nora Singley of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thekitchn.com\/cheese-tip-dont-eat-cold-chees-83136\" target=\"_blank\">The Kitchn<\/a>, &#8220;fat means flavor&#8221; and she recommends pulling your cheese out of the refrigerator at least an hour and a half before serving, and even earlier for runnier cheeses like <a href=\"https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/cheese-library\/Brie-Marin-French-Cheese\" target=\"_blank\">Brie<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/cheese-library\/Camembert-Le-Chatelain\" target=\"_blank\">Camembert<\/a>. Fresh cheeses don&#8217;t need as much time as that and you&#8217;re safe with just&nbsp;half an hour to adjust to room temperature.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_15311\" style=\"width: 543px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-perfect-cheese-plate-tray11.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15311\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15311\" src=\"https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-perfect-cheese-plate-tray11.jpg\" alt=\"Photo Credit: Image courtesy of Sweet Basil Catering.\" width=\"533\" height=\"356\" srcset=\"https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-perfect-cheese-plate-tray11.jpg 533w, https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-perfect-cheese-plate-tray11-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 533px) 100vw, 533px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-15311\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Photo Credit: Image courtesy of <a href=\"http:\/\/sweetbasilcatering.com\/6-cheese-picks-for-a-tongue-tingling-cheese-platter\/\" target=\"_blank\">Sweet Basil Catering<\/a>.<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Fat content is an important factor in a cheese&#8217;s flavor profile, so don&#8217;t miss out by eating cheese cold.
