Pairings
by Laura Werlin, one of the country’s foremost authorities on cheese and author of 4 cheese books, including Cheese Essentials
Subtle hints of basil and a rich olive oil rub create a new and elegant twist on this classic Italian-style nutty cheese.
Food
Enjoy this Italian-style cheese with oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes and lightly toasted pine nuts on top of lightly toasted oil-brushed baguette slices or with a few roasted red pepper strips and breadsticks alongside.
Beverages
Beer:
-
American-style unfiltered wheat beer – Just the right amount of spice and flavor in the beer to not overwhelm the cheese and instead, bring out its slightly sharp yet rich qualities.
- Czech-style pilsner – A perfect match for nearly all the cheeses. The beer is well-balanced, mild yet flavorful, just like the cheese.
- Hefeweizen – This beer, which is tropical yet ever-so-slightly tart creates a balanced, easy pairing with the cheese.
Wine:
- Rosé – Both the wine and cheese are medium-bodied, so the textures go well together. The herbal and fruity qualities in the wine match the same qualities in the cheese.
- Chianti Classico – The wine’s herbaceousness brings out the subtle herbal and earthy characteristics in the cheese.
