Product Description
Good cheese is traditionally served to be enjoyed on it's own, on a cheese board, with the addition of a good cracker or fresh crusty bread. This is not the only way to enjoy cheese. Cheese has a deep relationship with wine and each cheese and wine brings out a new and surprising flavor from both. Fruit also complements cheese, for instance, a good cheddar on top of a slice of slice of apple creates an entirely new dimension on your palate. Les Folies Fromage (The Cheese Follies) by Guillaume et Lesgards has created four wonderful fruit spreads specifically designed for certain types of cheese. Made in the French Pyrenees, these spreads will put a new twist on your old favorites. So, be daring, shake up your cheese plates with these unique and delicious cheese spreads. To complement Roquefort and other blue cheeses, they have designed the ideal spread - quince, apple and spices are the perfect pairing. Rather than trying to compete with a strong blue, this combination does not overwhelm, it merely highlights the unique depth of flavor a good blue has. To complement Camembert and other soft bloomy rind cheeses, their blend of Apricot, cumin and orange peels, creates the perfect combination. To complement sheep's milk cheeses, their black cherry and licorice variety adds a touch of sweet and a touch of spice. Finally, they have created a spread for the zing of young, creamy chevres. This is a real winner. Made from white fig with bay leaf and raisins, your chevres will blossom with these complementary flavors. Varieties sold separately.
