Why this session?
A question we get asked often is – what do I pair this cheese with? Pairing cheese is a bit like matchmaking. A creamy cheese might need a crisp cracker or a drizzle of honey to make it shine, while a bold, punchy cheese can mellow out beautifully with something sweet or fruity. The trick is to balance strength, play with textures, and let each bite feel complete. There are no strict rules, just a chance to explore contrasts and complements that make the flavours sing.
At its core, pairing is about harmony through balance and contrast. A delicate ones pair best with subtle accompaniments that don’t overpower it, while an aged cheese requires a partner with equal intensity, such as dark chocolate or a robust relish. Texture plays an equally important role: crisp elements add lift to creamy cheeses, while rich condiments can soften sharper notes. These principles guide the tasting, but true discovery lies in exploring how sweet, salty, tangy, and umami interplay on the palate.
