Step 1: Roast the Cashews

1. Preheat your oven to 150°C.

4. Store the cheese-coated cashews in an airtight glass jar and keep them in a cool place to maintain their flavor.

How to Select Fresh Cashews and Quality Cheese

• Choosing Cheese: Opt for cheese with a clear origin, ensuring it meets food safety standards. For powdered cheese, it should have a rich, creamy flavor without clumping. For cheese blocks, pay attention to its color—make sure it’s vibrant, free from mold, and has a mild, pleasant aroma.
• Selecting Cashews: Prioritize whole, fresh cashews that are free from mold and pests. Fresh cashews will have a bright color and a subtle fragrance, ensuring both quality and safety for your health.
