What to pair with artisanal cheddar?

What to pair with artisanal cheddar?

Posted on February 16 2008 at 09:34

By artisanal cheddar, I mean cheddar that is mature, full-flavoured, and unpasteurised (learn more in this post: So what makes a great cheddar?). It isn't the easiest cheese to match with wine.

As with most cheeses the ideal wine pairing for cheddar depends how mature it is.

On a hazy March morning @clevedonpier was just a joy - like stepping back into the 50s except for the rows of plaques that line the sides commemorating births, deaths and love affairs. Resolved to go more often. #clevedonpier #clevedom #pier #seaside #somersetWhat a way to kick off a meal: potato beignets with anchovy mayo and parmigiano reggiano. Then two exemplary main courses, cod and mussels with curried crab sauce (a bit like a mouclade) and pork schnitzel with brown butter capers and (more) anchovies. Not many restaurants have main courses that are as good as their starters but @1yorkplace_bristol is one of them. So lucky to have it as a local. . . . #beignets #cod #mussels #schnitzel #1yorkplace #clifton #bristol #bristolfoodLove a sommelier who has the boldness to recommend a red wine - @sabellifrisch’s Somers vineyard Mission - with a crab pasta. (Chips not with the pasta but my mate @fionasims Dover sole btw!) Good call @agustina.basilico! @toklas_london continues to be one of my favourite London restaurants. #guest on this occasion but I do go and spend my own money there 😉 #sommelier #redwine #mission #foodandwine #crab #pasta #toklas #londonrestaurantsDaffs.
