Pairings and Complementary Flavors:
Cocktails: Old Fashioned, Gin and Tonic, Apple Martini, Bloody Mary, Margarita
~ The rich, sweet, and bitter notes found in a traditional Old Fashioned enhance the cheese, while a classic Gin and Tonic, with its crisp, refreshing profile and botanicals, cuts through the creaminess of the cheese.
~ The sweetness and acidity in an Apple Martini pair well with the tangy profile, while the savory and spicy elements in a Bloody Mary contrast nicely with the smoothness of the cheese.
~ A classic Margarita cuts through the creaminess of the cheese, while its salty rim will enhance the cheese’s flavors.
Wine: Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Merlot
~ The crisp acidity in Sauvignon Blanc cuts through the creaminess while harmonizing with the cheese’s tang.
~ A slightly off-dry Riesling will pair nicely with the semi-hard texture and balance the slight tanginess of the cheese.
~ A lightly oaked Chardonnay complements the buttery texture, while the light tannins and red fruit notes of Pinot Noir match well with the cheese’s subtle flavors without overpowering them.
~ Merlot also complements the creamy texture of the marble Jack cheese.
Beer: Pilsner, Pale Ale, Wheat Beer, Brown Ale, Porter
~ The crisp, slightly bitter Pilsner cuts through the creaminess of this cheese, while the hoppy character of Pale Ale provides a nice counterbalance to the creamy texture of Marble.
~ A light and effervescent Wheat Beer refreshes, while the malty sweetness and slight nuttiness in Brown Ale complement the Marble’s richness and tangy notes.
~ Porter’s’ roasted malt coffee and chocolate flavors contrast the creamy, buttery cheese flavors.
Accompaniments: Crackers, baguettes, fruits, nuts, olives, preserves, honey, mustard charcuterie, and chocolate.
~ Neutral crackers or baguette slices are a great accompaniment to most cheeses.
~ Fruit preserves or honey brings a hint of sweetness, while apples, pears, and grapes contribute sweetness and texture.
~ Almonds, walnuts, or pecans offer crunchy contrast and nutty flavors that pair well with the cheese.
~ Pickled vegetables or olives bring acidity and saltiness that cut through the richness, while grainy mustard adds a nice tang that enhances the flavors.
~ Salami or prosciutto adds a savory and salty dimension, while dark chocolate provides a rich and slightly bitter contrast to the smooth cheese for an indulgent pairing.
