Key factors affecting cheese prices include ingredients and aging; for example, Gouda is less expensive than truffle-infused varieties, and aged cheddar varies in cost based on its aging time. To craft an affordable cheeseboard, prioritizing essential cheeses and considering one standout cheese is recommended. Popular choices for budget-friendly cheese boards include aged cheddar, smoked gouda, and herbed goat cheese, often available for under $10, making them accessible for quality charcuterie preparations.
