With the holidays around the corner the generations are back at it again. From years of poking fun at each other about skinny jeans, side parts, emojis and font sizes, now they’re taking on one another for their approach to holiday entertaining.
Canadians from all generations are battling it out in the ultimate charcuterie showdown, each creating a cheeseboard that speaks to the hosting styles of their generation.
When entertaining with cheeseboards a premium quality cheese is key, so each generation used Canada’s #1 specialty cheese and their personal favorite – Castello.
GEN Z by @loganfabbro
Best known for her role on The Next Step, Logan Fabro knows her generation tends to have shorter attention spans and moves on from one obsession to the next in record time, so she made three different boards each one ready in 10 minutes: the first is an air-fried Castello Brie (a Tik Tok hack,) followed by a twist on the viral butter board using Velvet Blue (the perfect entry-level blue cheese,) and a minimalist board featuring Havarti, Gouda, Tickler Cheddar and Castello’s cream cheese rings

MILLENNIAL by @avaahblackwell
Avaah Blackwell is a Canadian stunt woman and actress on Star Trek Discovery and like her generation, she’s collaborative and all about the big show. She crafted Havarti Party trees by stacking small slices on top of each other, cut a star shape from the brie and filled it with jam, turned the Taste Hawaii and Taste Mexico cream cheese rings into holiday wreaths, and cubed some Tickler Cheddar and Gouda for an Insta-Worthy board that has something for everyone.

GEN X by @cinqfourchettes
Blogger Nancy Bordeleau’s generation saw the Internet coming, so they’ve become very adaptable and inventive, as seen in her creative approach to cheeseboards which she complements with attractive ‘cheeseboard’ cups. Crumble some Tickler at the bottom, add skewers with your favourite ingredients, and stuff some dates with Danish Blue cheese for the perfect sweet and salty pairing.
BOOMER by @alabouroflife
Linda Cassidy is a fun-loving Boomer who knows her generation tends to be crafty and loves spending time with their grandchildren, so she created a cheeseboard complete with a Santa made from Brie and Havarti that she can make with the little ones. And to keep her older kids happy, she included Castello’s crunchy Havarti, Tangy Tickler Cheddar, and Danish Blue for exciting flavour sensations everyone will love.
