Pairings
by Laura Werlin, one of the country’s foremost authorities on cheese and author of 4 cheese books, including Cheese Essentials
Bright berry notes combine with hazelnut and brown butter flavors to make a deliciously complex cheese.
Food
Try this cheese with milk chocolate and toasted pistachios or with roasted hazelnuts and crushed raspberries mixed with lime peel and sugar for two very different, but equally good dessert pairings.
For a more savory pairing, serve this cheese with onion jam and rosemary crackers.
Beverages
Beer:
- Framboise Lambic – As expected, this raspberry-laced beer is an excellent match. Sweet, fruity, salty – everything that’s good!
- Scotch Ale – Interesting, sherry-like flavors in the beer make this combination a very sophisticated after-dinner experience.
- Guinness® Stout – The dark, bitter flavors of the beer create a perfect contrast to the floral berry-like cheese.
Wine:
- Tocai Friuiano – This Italian white wine has lovely acidity yet plenty of fruit to harmonize with the fruitiness of the cheese.
- Dry Riesling – The raspberry characteristics of the cheese and the fruitiness of the wine combine to create a veritable fruit bowl in the mouth. Think dessert and you’ll have a sense of this pairing.
- Valpolicella – Even though the cheese is washed with beer, this fruity yet complex red wine manages to coax out the fruitiness of the cheese without dominating it.
