Pairing: Aged Cheeses

Recipe

Ingredients

  • Aged Cheese (e.g., Parmigiano-Reggiano, Aged Cheddar, Gouda): Provides the complex, nutty, and savory flavors needed for pairing.
  • Fresh Fruit (e.g., grapes, figs): Complements the sharpness of the cheese with sweetness.
  • Nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts): Adds crunch and enhances the cheese’s earthy undertones.
  • Honey or Jam: Balances the saltiness of the cheese with a touch of sweetness.

Instructions

  1. Select a variety of aged cheeses, such as Parmigiano-Reggiano, Aged Gouda, or Cheddar, and cut them into small, bite-sized wedges or cubes.
  2. Arrange the cheeses on a wooden board or platter.
  3. Add fresh fruits like grapes or figs around the cheese, alternating them for visual appeal.
  4. Scatter a handful of roasted nuts such as almonds or walnuts.
  5. Place small bowls of honey or fig jam on the board.
  6. Serve the cheese at room temperature for optimal flavor. Enjoy with freshly baked crusty bread and pair with bold red wines.
