Pairings and Complementary Flavors

Cocktails: Old Fashioned, Manhattan, Rob Roy. The smooth and robust flavors of these cocktails perfectly complement the intensity of this cheese. Whiskey, bourbon, or malt scotch offers bold, intriguing flavors that mingle delicately with sharp, tangy cheese.

Wine: Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, Malbec, Syrah, or Port. These wines offer either ripe or dark fruit notes with spiced flavors, and their moderate acidity profiles harmonize fluently with the tangy and robust properties of Renard’s Artisan Cheese 4-Year Sharp Cheddar.

Beer: Porter, Brown, Belgian, or Amber Ale. These beers offer undertones of chocolate, moderate bitterness, dark fruit flavors, and balanced maltiness to enhance the intensity of the cheese and create a harmonious pairing.

Accompaniments: Crusty bread, crackers, oat biscuits, chutney, preserves, fig jam, cranberry compote, pepper jelly, and dark chocolate. All of these selections will complement the intensity of this aged Cheddar. Honey is always a perfect partner. Cured meats, pickles, and nuts bring saltiness and a satisfying crunch. Fresh or dried fruits contribute a sweet, chewy element to the pairing.
