Asorte Gourmet is an artisanal cheese and grazing board company in Mumbai that creates gourmet centerpieces. Founder Anuschka Goenka started playing around with cheese when she was six years old. “My grandmother encouraged me to try skewers of cheese and grapes that she prepared for her dinners parties.” Goenka uses a combination of fresh, flavoured soft cheese domes prepared in-house every day and aged European classics like flavoured English Cheddars, Dutch Goudas and French bries. Her bestsellers are Truffle Piedmont, Kerala Cracked Pepper, Apricot Feta and Soffrito Herbs. Some of the eclectic pairings include a drizzle of lavender honey on Asorte’s truffle cheese; caramel slathered on blue cheese and strawberry jam with their house special Kerala Cracked Pepper cheese. “What fascinates me about cheese is that there is no universal norm as to what it should be like; nearly every country in the world has at least one unique, traditionally-made cheese attached to its cultures.” Goenka hopes to sample the Nepalese Chhurpi, considered the hardest cheese in the world. While all the platters at Asorté are 100 per cent vegetarian, Goenka is happy to accommodate KETO, Vegan and GF requests.

Chef Guntas

Guntas Sethi Bhasin is a patisserie chef trained from Le Cordon Bleu, London, and the head chef at Chef Guntas in Mumbai, where she specialises in custom cakes, desserts and cheese platters. Guntas curates a variety of cheeses ranging from soft and semi-soft cheese to hard variants. Because people have different tastes, Guntas says she ensures there’s something for everybody at the table. “The first thing is to curate different textures and flavours with a choice of assorted fruits, nuts, cheeses and crackers.” The combination of mushroom and truffle with cheese is one of her new pairings. She also recommends the truffle, pistachio and goat’s cheese platter. “The pistachio adds crunchiness while the goat’s cheese lends saltiness. And the truffle brings it together by adding freshness and cutting through the richness of the cheese. You could also serve sun-dried tomatoes and olives as accompaniments.”
