Product Description: Sharp Cheddar Cold Pack Cheese Spread has a rich and tangy cheddar taste with slightly earthy and nutty undertones.

Pairings and Complementary Flavors:

Cocktails: Dry Martini, Old Fashioned, Manhattan, Apple Cider Mimosa
~ The crisp profile of a classic Dry Martini cuts through the richness of the cheese, providing a refreshing contrast.
~ The sweetness of a traditional bourbon Old Fashioned complements the sharpness of the cheddar, creating a harmonious balance between the two.
~ A whiskey Manhattan accentuates the nutty undertones of the cheese, making it a well-matched pairing.
~ For a lighter option, an Apple Cider Mimosa offers a fruity and slightly tart profile that enhances the flavor of the cheese without overwhelming it.

Wine: Chardonnay, Riesling, Zinfandel, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon
~ A buttery or oaky Chardonnay complements the creaminess of the cheese.
~ In contrast, a dry or off-dry Riesling complements the spread’s sharpness without overpowering it.
~ Zinfandel‘s fruity and spicy notes can provide a nice contrast to the tanginess of the spread.
~ The light body, bright acidity, and red fruit flavors in Pinot Noir offer a refreshing counterpoint.
~ A Cabernet Sauvignon with bold tannins and dark fruit flavors stands up to the spread’s intense flavor.

Beer: IPA, Stout, Porter Amber Ale, Pilsner
~ The hoppy bitterness of an IPA cuts through the richness of the cheese.
~ Stout or Porter, with roasted malt flavors, chocolate, and coffee notes, contrasts with the tangy, nutty cheese.
~ The balanced maltiness and slight hop bitterness of an Amber Ale harmonize well with the creamy and sharp characteristics of the spread.
~ At the same time, a light and crisp Pilsner offers refreshment between bites of the rich cheese spread.

Accompaniments: crackers, bread, fruit, nuts, cured meats, honey, mustard
~ Neutral-flavored crackers or baguettes provide a simple base that lets the cheese shine.
~ Apples, pears, or grapes contrast the cheese’s richness with a sweet and juicy contrast. Dried apricots, figs, or dates add a chewy texture and concentrated sweetness that pairs nicely. Almonds, walnuts, or pecans can add a satisfying crunch and nutty flavor that complements the cheese.
~ Salami, prosciutto, or smoked ham pair well with the robust flavor of sharp cheddar.
~ A drizzle of honey or jam introduces a sweet contrast, while grainy mustard adds an extra dimension of flavor.
