Pairings: Champagne and Cheese
As we edge closer to Aleah’s birthday weekend we’re already dreaming up kicking back and relaxing in the sunshine with a glass of bubbly. The perfect warm weather accompaniment! There’s something just so wonderfully celebratory and refreshing about a good glass of champagne, cava, sparkling wine, or prosecco. While we’re ones for going all out with cheese pairings, charcuterie and displays with figs, Marcona almonds and all the trimmings, today we’re sharing a pairing that, while lovely, is simple and speaks to the flavors alone.
Le Grande Courtage is a delectably fresh brut that’s a new favorite. They kindly sent some our way and we can’t get enough.
We paired it with an all-time favorite duo of cheeses, Seastack from Mt. Townsend Creamery with big, plump strawberries, and Red Alder from Mt. Townsend creamery, paired with dry salami and pistachios. The Seastack is a divine creamy cheese with a lightly dusted crust coated with vegetable ash. The Red Alder is earthy and deep and complex. They’re both winning cheeses in our book {and we’re quite picky with our cheese}! What’s better? You can buy all of this goodness online and have it shipped fresh from Washington.
When staging your summer cheese board really focus on the flavors of the cheese and offer at least one soft and one hard cheese paired with champagne, sparkling water and nibbles like berries. It’s all you need!
So, friends. What’s on your agenda for the upcoming weekend?
