A Combination of Chocolate and Cheese for a Truly Decadent Valentine’s Day
Chocolate and cheese may seem like an odd pairing, but a good chunk of salty dairy can soften and balance the sweetness of the truffle. If you were lucky enough to gift Whitman’s iconic sampler on February 14th, you’re in luck because Bon Appetit has developed a cheese and chocolate pairing guide just for you.
Click the link below to read all of their delicious offerings, but here are the highlights:
- Cypress Grove Farm “Purple Haze” and Dark Chocolate Molasses Chew : This spicy goat cheese with pollen splashes adds depth and flavor to the syrupy sweet chocolate.
- Lazy Lady Farm Oh My Heart & Coconut: A slightly sugary coconut candy based on a funky yet very creamy brie-like cheese.
- Rogue Creamery Rogue River Blue & Cherry Cordial: Juicy, slightly fruity cheese pairs wonderfully well with juicy candy.
Of course, sticking to Whitman isn’t necessary. These pairing suggestions can be applied to any box of chocolate like See’s (best box of chocolate, to be honest).
