Pairings and Complementary Flavors

Cocktails: Martini, Moscow Mule, Gin and Tonic, Mimosa

~ The herbal notes of gin and the effervescence of tonic water in a classic Gin and Tonic balance the cheese’s mild tang and create a splendid pairing.
~ A classic Mimosa made with champagne and orange juice adds just a touch of sweetness that complements this cheese’s savory flavors.

Wine: Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Beaujolais, Prosecco
