What else to serve with cheese?
Nuts like almonds help bring out the flavour and aroma of cheese. Toasted hazelnuts and walnuts work with cheese, and pecans go well with sweet cheeses. Olives compliment sheep and goats milk cheese. Experiment with dried fruits like raisins, figs, dates and berries. Chutneys work perfectly with cheddar and hard cheese, as does chevre and is simply delicious. Fruit pastes work well with any type of cheese, and are perfect for semi-hard sheeps cheeses Apples with cheddar and pears with stilton are always a winner. Serve thin slices of prosciutto, ham and sweet or spicy salamis, especially with aged cheese like manchego or pecorino. If you choose to serve crackers, pick unsalted or lightly salted ones. Bread is a must, you can never go wrong with a baguette. Crusty sourdough with creamy soft ripened cheeses, and grain packed breads for cheddars and hard cheese.
