As an accompaniment to a meal or a meal in itself, along with some hearty bread, cheese is a mainstay. Perfect, too, for pairing with fresh fruit for a simple yet elegant dessert. Here are a few of our favorites. Saint Andre
Delicate, buttery, triple-cream cheese. Goes well spread on bread or crackers and can be combined with olives, fresh herbs and roasted vegetables for a savory flavor or combined with dried fruits such as slivered figs and dried pears, mild honey and roasted hazelnuts for a sweet treat.
Camembert
Rich and buttery double cream cheese. Serve with soft fresh fruit, pears and plums. Easy to transport, Camembert often comes in a wooden box that assists with holding the temperature.
Fresh Chevre
Tangy and smooth. Best served with a good crusty baguette or crumbled over a summer salad. Or, choose a chevre rolled in fresh herbs or maybe some cracked peppercorns to spread over your sandwiches.
Aged Cheddar
Versatile, robust flavor. Serve with crusty bread and an olive mix or simply enjoy with your favorite crackers.
Creme Fraiche
Cultured, thickened whole cream with a slightly sour/milk sweet taste that can be tempered with a bit of added sugar or syrup. Great over strawberries, raspberries or any sweet or tart fresh fruit slices. Mascarpone
Whipped cream like Italian cheese often served as a dessert topping.
