Our summer diet tends to differ significantly from the foods we eat in winter. If you still enjoy your regular dose of cheese, however, here are some great cheese and fruit pairings for summer.
Goat cheese and cherries are a delicious combination and you will love the contrasting flavours of the two. Goat cheese is known for its sharp taste while cherries offer a delicious sweet sensation. Enjoy with some sparkling wine and you are all set!
Another great combo is brie and cherries. Again, it’s the contrasting flavours that make this combination so appealing. Serve with your favourite crackers for the ultimate summer snack.
If you fancy some sharp aged cheddar, why not pair it with crisp apples? The strong flavour of the cheese is met with the crunchy and sweet apple taste that brings all the right elements together. Serve with toothpicks or on crackers depending on your personal preferences.
Peaches taste great with blue cheese. Both are particularly potent in terms of flavour which means that they will not overpower one another. For the best flavour, look for organic peaches. Not only are they perfectly juicy, but they also have the richest taste.
Gouda and pears is another favourite for a number of reasons. Not only do the textures of these two pair well, but also their flavours. As they meet in your mouth, your senses will love the delicious exploson of taste. This is a crowd pleaser that you can be sure will be loved by all your guests!
Remember, there are plenty more yummy combinations out there. The best thing to do is try each one at least twice before rendering your verdict. Let your senses really absorb the flavours and textures before you choose which combinations you love the most.
