For example, why not pair a creamy Camembert de Normandie with the hard Pecorino Sardo Maturo? Don’t forget to use an individual knife for every type of cheese, in order to make sure you can truly savour every unique flavour as it’s meant to be tasted. Style the platter by adding olives, dried fruits, toasted nuts or Shropshire Blue and Colston Bassett Stilton. The English Shropshire Blue also offers a burst of flavours when tossed into a salad or simply paired with chocolate. Also among the Signature cheese range is the French Tomme de Chèvre. It is exquisite when paired with potatoes or can be simply melted like a raclette. Mont d’Or, a creamy cows’ cheese milk from France, is delicious when baked in the oven. It is guaranteed to become a staple in your appetiser repertoire. You can even transform baked Mont d’Or into a decadent dessert by topping it with cherries or blueberries. Craving the bold flavours of Italy? Pecorino Sardo Maturo, an award-winning cheese from Sardinia, is the secret ingredient to making mouthwatering pesto. It can also be grated over pasta to enhance both flavour and aroma.
