Pairings Perfection: 5 Ways to Elevate your Cheese
No matter the occasion or time of year, enjoying a thoughtfully crafted cheese pairing can turn a simple snack into a savoury experience. Discover five easy and delightful pairings that elevate your favourite soft cheeses, highlighting their rich, creamy character and celebrating vibrant tastes you can enjoy any day. Whether you’re planning a boozy brunch or a picnic, these pairings will help you make the most of every bite.
1. DOUBLE CREAM BRIE WITH DRIED APRICOTS
A double cream Brie cheese such as our Brise du Matin cheese pairs perfectly with the sweetness of dried apricots. The smooth and buttery hazelnut taste of the cheese is gently lifted by the apricots’ vibrant notes. Complement it with an artisanal cracker and a fruity jam and you’ve got yourself a delicious everyday snack!
2. DOUBLE CREAM CAMEMBERT WITH GRAPE
Our Le Calendos double cream Camembert cheese is delicious with grapes. Just put a slice of cheese on a piece of crostini or toast and top it with a grape. The fresh, tangy taste of the grape brings out the cheese’s creamy flavour. For more crunchiness, add a handful of nuts. It’s an easy way to add something special to your next cheese plate or cheese board.
3. TRIPLE CREAM SOFT CHEESE WITH PROSCIUTTO AND PESTO
Enjoy a simple yet delicious mix of triple cream soft cheese, slice of prosciutto, and a bit of fresh pesto. The creamy cheese goes really well with the salty meat, and the pesto gives it a fresh, flavourful boost. Try using our Belle Crème cheese for an even creamier taste, making it a savoury bite.
4. DOUBLE CREAM LACTOSE FREE BRIE, CRACKER AND NUTS
For a quick and easy snack, put some jam and walnuts on a cracker or piece of bread. Add a slice of our Lactose Free Brie cheese—it’s creamy and buttery, just like regular Brie, but everyone can enjoy it. This simple combo makes for a tasty treat any time.
5. WASHED RIND SOFT CHEESE WITH BERRIES AND FINE HERBS
Pair a washed rind soft cheese with fresh berries and fine herbs like mint to create a harmonious balance of creamy, fruity and herbal flavours. Try it with our award-winning La Sauvagine cheese, which was crowned Best Canadian Cheese in 2023-24, for a perfect refreshing treat any time of day.
Don’t wait for a special occasion to enjoy these cheeses—try these easy and tasty pairings any day of the week. Simple but delicious, enjoy as a quick and delicious snack for yourself or to share with friends.
