So, with Easter fast approaching we have some wonderful cheese for a grazing cheese board.
Of course, the fresh spring milk cheese is in abundance this time of year but lets not forget about the slightly more complex cheese’s we have available.
Earthy Cheshire made by Appleby near Shrewsbury; https://www.applebysdairy.com/a creamy, herby blue made by Hartington Creamery in Derbyshire and a beautiful bloomy rinded and lemony goats cheese namely Ragstone Goat.https://www.nealsyarddairy.co.uk/
With cheese chosen, lets now consider our pairings to put it all together..
The bright, lactic flavour of fresh and soft-ripened goat cheese pair well with honey and citrusy fruits such as oranges, lemons or tangy rhubarb; all dolloped on cheese with a crisp cracker or crunchy baguette is worth a try.
For the earthy and mould ripened cheese, pairings include nutty notes of walnuts or almonds, proscuitto and quince jelly.
Mrs Appleby’s Coloured Cheshire pairs so well with fruit, as the acidity of the cheese complements the sweetness of the fruit. Appleby’s Cheshire also has excellent cooking properties and goes well with a crisp glass of cider. (please note this cheese is NOT suitable for vegetarians)
HAPPY FEASTING EVERYONE, HAVE A WONDERFUL EASTER!!
