How to Cut Cheese

Fromages.com offers a excellent series of diagrams for cutting different shapes of cheese, including:

Small cheeses like Camembert, and Pont l'Evêque;
Pyramid or Cone Shaped Cheeses like Valencay and Pouligny St Pierre;
Cheeses with a soft Pate like Brie;
Blue Veined Cheeses like Roquefort;
Cheeses in a wooden box like Vacherin or Epoisses;
Cheeses with a hard Pate like Comte, and
Cylindrical or long cheeses.

The key to serving pre sliced cheeses is to allow each guest to have a portion of the rind in his or her serving. The website also explains the difference between a cheese knife, grater, butter knife and other cheese cutting instruments.
