Cheese and mustard sauces are the perfect duo - when the pairing is right. But which combinations truly work?
1. Sheep and goat cheese: The apricot mustard sauce with almonds is the ideal match. The fresh acidity of the apricot and the subtle nuttiness of the almonds enhance the distinctive character of the cheese and create a balanced flavor.
2. Aged hard cheese (e.g. mountain cheese, Parmesan): Strong cheeses need an equally strong partner. The fig mustard sauce adds a pleasant sweetness that perfectly complements and rounds off the cheese´s intensity.
3. Soft and blue cheese: For creamy and aromatic varieties, the pear mustard sauce is the perfect choice. Its delicate fruitiness blances the richness and adds an elegant lightness.
Tip: Take the cheese out of the fridge about 30 minutes before serving to let it develop its full flavor.
