Some Maytag Blue with green apples slices is a very nice flavor combo.

You can also try some goat cheese. I like the kind rolled ashes.

A chocolate dusted Manchego (hard spanish cheese) stands up well on it's own with some port.

Try putting out some fig jam. It goes very well with both the Blue and the Goat cheeses on crackers. It's savory and sweet at the same time. Very yummy.

Jarlsberg Swiss slices offer a very nice contrast to apricots also.

Let me know if you need more.

Jarlsburg is a very nice smooth cheese from the low countries. I love it and it goes great with almost anything, including fruit.
