Natural Horseradish Chive Cheddar Cheese

Product Description: Natural Horseradish Chive Cheddar Cheese offers a complex mix of flavors and textures. The cheese brings the rich, nutty character of white cheddar, which serves as a foundation for the intense, spicy horseradish kick and herbaceous notes of chives. The horseradish delivers a heat that lingers, while the chives offer a slight onion taste, adding depth and freshness.

Pairings and Complementary Flavors:

Cocktails: Bloody Mary, Moscow Mule, Gin and Tonic, Old Fashioned, White Russian
~ Bloody Mary’s spiciness stands up to the intense flavors of this cheese.
~ The ginger beer in a Moscow Mule complements the horseradish and adds a zesty finish.
~ An Old Fashioned provides the smooth sweetness of bourbon, balancing the cheese’s spicy, savory flavors.
~ The botanicals in a classic Gin and Tonic cut through the cheese’s richness and complement its herbal notes, while the creamy nature of a White Russian counteracts the spiciness for an appealing duo.

Wine: Sauvignon Blanc, Rosé, Riesling, Red Zinfandel, Syrah
~ Sauvignon Blanc is an excellent match for the chives and cuts through the richness of the cheddar.
~ Rosé offers a nice balance, providing refreshing acidity and fruitiness without overwhelming the cheese.
~ A slightly sweet Riesling balances tangy horseradish and sharp cheddar notes.
~ Red Zinfandel offers enough body and flavor to match the cheese, while Syrah’s peppery, bold flavors complete the horseradish’s spiciness and the cheddar’s richness.

Beer: IPA, Pale Ale, Saison, Amber Ale, Porter
~ The hoppy bitterness of an IPA cuts through the cheese’s richness and stands up to its spiciness.
~ The moderate hop and malty profile of a Pale Ale is versatile enough to pair with the complex cheese, while the herbal and spicy notes in Saison match well with the chive and horseradish elements.
~ The balanced maltiness of an Amber Ale is a nice counterpoint to the cheese’s sharp, spicy profile, while a robust Porter can do the same but will also bring out the nutty, earthy qualities of cheddar.

Accompaniments: Meats, crackers, bread, fruits, honey, nuts, mustards, olives
~ Cured meats like salami, prosciutto, or soppressata complement the cheese’s richness and herbal notes.
~ Whole grain crackers or rustic breads provide a satisfying bite and neutral base.
~ Apples, pears, and grapes contrast refreshingly, while dried figs or apricots offer a concentrated sweetness and chewy texture. Honey or fruit preserves can add a sweet, sticky contrast, elevating the cheese’s complex flavors.
~ Almonds, walnuts, or pecans bring out the nutty aspects of cheddar and provide a crunchy texture.
~ Mustards or chutneys add a layer of spicy complexity, matching the cheddar’s robust character, while green or Kalamata olives contrast the cheese’s creaminess.
