Pairing: Soft and Semi-Firm Cheeses

Recipe

Ingredients

  • Brie or Camembert (200g): Soft cheese with a rich, creamy texture and buttery flavor.
  • Gouda (200g, young or semi-aged): A semi-firm cheese with a mild, nutty taste that intensifies with aging.
  • Crackers or baguette slices: Provides a crunchy base to balance the creaminess of the cheese.
  • Honey (1-2 tablespoons): Adds a touch of sweetness that enhances the richness of soft cheeses.
  • Dried fruits (apricots, figs): Offers sweetness and a chewy texture, complementing both soft and semi-firm cheeses.

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cheese: Allow the Brie or Camembert to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes to enhance its creamy texture. Slice the Gouda into thin wedges.
  2. Assemble: Arrange the cheese on a board with crackers, dried fruits, and honey for drizzling. Ensure the soft cheeses are in a central position for easy serving.
  3. Serve: Pair with your chosen wines and enjoy as part of a casual gathering or a formal cheese course.
