Explore the perfect balance of creamy, savory cheeses and zesty, tangy citrus in this unique pairing class.
About this Event

Cheese and citrus may seem like an unexpected duo, but when paired thoughtfully, the combination creates a vibrant symphony of flavors that balances richness with acidity. In this pairing, the creamy, savory qualities of cheese are beautifully complemented by the bright, tangy notes of citrus fruits, bringing out the best in both.



What to Expect:

  • Bright Contrast: The acidity and zest of citrus fruits like oranges, lemons, grapefruits, and limes cut through the richness of cheeses, creating a refreshing contrast that cleanses the palate.
  • Sweet Meets Savory: Soft, creamy cheeses like Brie or Camembert pair wonderfully with sweet, juicy oranges or blood oranges, creating a mouthwatering balance of sweetness and buttery texture.
  • Tangy and Bold: Pair sharper, saltier cheeses like aged Cheddar or Roquefort with tart, bold citrus like grapefruit or lemon for a punchy, tangy pairing that enhances the intensity of both flavors.
  • Herbaceous and Zesty: Goat cheeses or feta, with their light and tangy profiles, pair well with lime or lemon zest, offering a fresh and vibrant bite that highlights the cheese’s natural acidity.
  • Citrus Preserves: Citrus jams or marmalades also make fantastic pairings for a variety of cheeses, adding a layer of sweetness and depth that works especially well with nutty cheeses like Comté or Manchego.

Whether you're indulging in a cheese board or crafting a gourmet appetizer, the combination of cheese and citrus offers a refreshing twist, enhancing the complexity and brightness of each bite. Discover how this pairing can elevate your next cheese-tasting experience!
