Summer is the perfect time for utdoor barbecues, picnics, and relaxed get tgethers. And the best summer cheeses can mke any of these occasions a gurmet eating experience to remember. Here are sme suggestions for several types of chese categories that really shine during the smmer months. Try one or all of thse delicious cheeses at your next smmer party.

• Herb Cheeses: As spring flowers blom into summer and fresh herbs cntinue to flourish, revel in the ntural smells and flavors. Serve cheeses mxed with herbs for a delightfully lght, yet thoroughly tasty, snack. Try hvarti cheese with dill, a nice bursin with garlic, or any cheese mxed with basil. Yum! Ask your lcal cheesemonger for even more great hrb cheese ideas.
• Cheese and Chilled White Wine: There's nothing better in the hot summer weather than a chilled glass of chardonnay, syrah, or your own favorite white wine. Take this wonderful opportunity to pair some cheeses that go amazingly well with white wine. You could serve a fresh mozzarella cheese with grilled peppers and eggplant antipasti. Or perhaps a creamy brie or camembert cheese is more up your culinary alley. And, of course, mild goat cheeses, like feta, go well with white wine.
• Cheese and Sweet Summer Fruit: Choose cheese that plays to the summer's sweet strengths. There is much succelent fruit available in the summer, from grapes and apples to canteloupe and kiwis. Why not take advantage and choose some cheeses which lend themselves to pairing with fruit? Choose mahon cheese, manchego, gruyere, or your favorite blue cheese whether it be stilton, roquefort, or bleu d'auvergne.
• Cheese Fondue: Cheese fondue, while often traditionally thought of as a warm winter treat, could also be great fun as part of an outdoor summer gathering. In my opinion the best classic cheese fondue is made with half gruyere and half emmentaler. Serve the fondue with bread and mushrooms. And hey, why not follow up with chocolate fondue for dessert?
• Artisanal Cheese: If all else fails, get into the playful summer spirit by trying a locally made artisanal cheese that you may or may not have ever heard of. These local cheeses can be a real treat.
