Richard Bramble | 21cm Mozzarella Cheese Plate

Made by Richard Bramble one of a set of 9 designs to choose from; Alpine, Washed Rind, Blue, Bloomy Rind, Cheddar, Ewes, Parmesan, Mozzarella and Goats Cheese. Perfect for serving a selection of cheeses and as a centre piece.

Size 21cm (8.3 inches) in diameter, made from hard wearing, dishwasher proof porcelain.

Artist comment: My interest in cheese first started when I worked with the top British Michelin Star Chefs creating the Starchefs Cookbook. Their restaurants often had fantastic cheese boards, with all shapes and types of cheese. Since this experience I had always thought about creating a set of cheese plates celebrating the different ways of making cheeses and specific cheeses. The cheese mongers Paxton & Whitfield commissioned the first six plates in the range, and a stall at Borough Market in London since 1999 surrounded by cheese makers and sellers has inspired on going designs.

Mozzarella has become a favourite cheese of mine especially since I had a stall alongside the Parma Ham and Mozzarella Cheese stand at Borough Market for many years. The mozzarella cheese plate is a limited edition design.

These make great conversation pieces at dinner parties as guests read the text whilst waiting for the cheese platter/board to be passed around. Very hard wearing porcelain so ideal for daily use as well.
