Comté & Cocktail Cheese Board

Comté & Cocktail Cheese Board   Author: Madame Fromage Print   Madame Fromage (@mmefromage), a cheese educator and author of three cocktail books, shows you how to host a Comté tasting with a special drink. Her pairing involves a historic Alabazam cocktail featuring Armagnac, France’s oldest distilled spirit. The flavor notes in the drink pair beautifully with the nutty, caramel notes in Comté. The three ages of Comté paired here are: 4 months, 12 months and 24 months. Alabazam Cocktail This bitters-forward cocktail can be traced back to the Criterion Bar in London, the spot where Sir Arthur Conan Doyle first imagined Sherlock Holmes. The recipe originally...

First Day of Spring Cheeseboard

Erika, a cheese preacher at @CheeseSexDeath, shared with us this scrumptious masterpiece. This cheese plate was inspired by the flavors of spring: like radishes with butter and fresh goat cheese marinated with rosemary and lemon peel, paired with warm baguette. She also loves complementary pairings of apricots and pistachios, which remind her of when she visited Provence last year.

"I love how those pairings tease out the fruity, nutty flavors in a classic Comté. Love adding a bit of funk to any plate, so I finished it all off with Saint Agur and clover honey. It's a little taste of springtime in France!"

Drawing on this formative experience, here she pairs Macvin du Jura, a fortified wine that is an intermingling of the fruitiness of a vermouth and the nuttiness of a sherry, with Comté.This pairing is one of her absolute favorites, not only because they are both products of the same terroir, but because the unique texture and flavors of the Macvin bring out a veritable symphony of delightful flavors in the cheese.To further accessorize this pairing,...
