Honey and cheese is a heavenly pairing.
Try drizzling just a little honey on cheese before serving or offer a small dish of comb honey with a cheese platter.
The following combinations of honey and cheese are highly recommended:
- Aged cheeses with a strong nutty flavour complement honey perfectly. Good examples to try are Parmigiano-Reggiano, a sharp Cheddar, or an alpine cheese (Comté, Gruyère, Appenzeller).
- The taste of creamy cheeses like ricotta, goat cheese, or feta, can be enhanced with honey.
- Another optimal pairing is honey with blue cheeses like Roquefort. The salty tang of the cheese is delicately balanced with the sweetness of a light honey.
