Shredded Mozzarella Cheese

Pairings and Complementary Flavors:

Cocktails: Gin and Tonic, Mojito, Martini, Bloody Mary, White Russian
~ The light botanicals of a Gin and Tonic are a great contrast, as is the fresh mint and lime of a Mojito.
~ The classic Martini‘s clean, crisp, and slightly salty characteristics are a sophisticated pairing.
~ The savory qualities of Bloody Mary match well with the cheese’s light saltiness and smooth texture.
~ The creaminess of a White Russian echoes the milky flavors of the cheese, creating a harmonious pairing.

Wine: Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, Verdicchio, Prosecco, Chianti
~ Sauvignon Blanc‘s bright acidity and citrus notes are an excellent pairing for this cheese.
~ A light and crisp Pinot Grigio is a classic choice for mozzarella as its acidity cuts through the cheese’s richness.
~ An Italian Verdicchio with almond and citrus notes pairs beautifully with mozzarella, while Prosecco‘s light effervescence and crispness make a delightful pairing.
~ With its bright acidity and cherry notes, Chianti rounds out this cheese wonderfully.

Beer: Blonde Ale, Wheat Beer, Pilsner, Lager, Cream Ale
~ A mild fruity Blonde Ale with spicy notes and a soft malt profile harmonizes with the texture and flavor of this cheese, while Wheat Beer, with a light and slightly creamy body, can also be a good match.
~ Pilsner‘s light, crisp, subtle-hop profile makes a refreshing counterpoint to the creaminess of mozzarella, while a clean and malty Lager is complementary without overpowering it.
~ The mild and smooth profile of Cream Ale complements the milky characteristics of Shredded Mozzarella.

Accompaniments: Crusty bread, vegetables, figs, honey, olives, cured meats
~ Crusty bread or baguettes create a simple and satisfying base for enjoying the cheese in its glory.
~ Roasted red peppers, tomatoes, basil, and balsamic glaze can create a refreshing and vibrant contrast to the sweetness of the cheese’s velvety texture.
~ The natural sweetness of figs or honey balances the cheese’s tangy side.
~ Olives add a savory taste to each bite, while prosciutto and other cured meats create a delightful salty contrast.
