It\u2019s true that there\u2019s something for every taste.\u00a0Satisfying a palate that leans toward the sweet,\u00a0salty or spicy is all about those winning\u00a0combinations of cheese and accompaniments.\u00a0Pairing foods of different flavours with your favourite\u00a0Boursin will bring out the best of your cheese and\u00a0always be a hit with your guests.<\/p>\n
Generally speaking, cheese goes very well with the\u00a0sweet taste of fruit. To refresh the palate between\u00a0cheese bites, fresh fruits such as pears, apples and\u00a0grapes are timeless classics. Seasonal harvests\u00a0can also provide a source of inspiration:\u00a0strawberries and cherries in late spring; raspberries,\u00a0peaches, cantaloupe and watermelon in the\u00a0summer; figs and ground cherries in early fall. In the\u00a0winter, the emphasis is on dried fruits such as\u00a0apricots, dates and cranberries.<\/p>\n
Jams, chutneys and jellies will also delight those\u00a0with a sweet tooth, and the choices in most\u00a0supermarkets are almost limitless. But nothing\u00a0beats homemade cherry jam or apple jelly made\u00a0with grandma\u2019s recipe!<\/p>\n
For the cheese, if your goal is to contrast the sweet\u00a0flavours, consider Boursin Shallot & Chive. If you\u2019re\u00a0looking for a milder taste, treat yourself to Boursin\u00a0Cranberry & Pepper.<\/p>\n
Lightly salted crackers are a quick and easy way to\u00a0add a touch of salt to your platter. Stick with neutral\u00a0flavours rather than crackers seasoned with pepper\u00a0or rosemary, as these don\u2019t necessarily pair well\u00a0with all cheeses.<\/p>\n
A few slices of sausage, prosciutto or salami are\u00a0great for instantly adding a festive, gourmet touch to\u00a0your platter. For a different taste experience,\u00a0experiment with your pairings: wrap a strip of dried\u00a0duck breast around blanched asparagus, prosciutto\u00a0around a date stuffed with Boursin, or Serrano ham\u00a0around pieces of cantaloupe.<\/p>\n
Fresh cheeses loaded with character, such as\u00a0Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs, are a great\u00a0accompaniment with your favourite salty appetizers.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Vegetables in brine, such as pickles and cocktail\u00a0onions, lend a crispy texture and deliciously tart\u00a0taste to your platter for those partial to these\u00a0flavours.<\/p>\n
But why settle for just these condiments? A number\u00a0of vegetables, including carrots, cucumbers,\u00a0radishes and cauliflower, lend themselves well to\u00a0quick marinades that soak for 24 hours. The subtle\u00a0sourness of the marinade pairs perfectly with the\u00a0taste of mild but slightly tart cheeses such as\u00a0Boursin Cranberry & Pepper and Boursin Goat\u00a0Cheese & Rosemary.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It\u2019s well known that hot spices awaken the taste\u00a0buds with an explosion of flavour … in the right\u00a0doses. This is the case with Boursin Red Chili\u00a0Pepper and Cracked Black Pepper, which balance\u00a0spiciness with the taste of fresh cheese. To temper\u00a0these fiery flavours, choose fresh accompaniments\u00a0with more neutral flavours, such as raw vegetables,\u00a0fresh fruit or nuts.<\/p>\n
Conversely, those who want to keep the fire hot will\u00a0prefer spicier combinations: toasted bread with\u00a0Boursin Red Chili Pepper and a slice of chorizo,\u00a0bite-size wraps of Boursin Cracked Black Pepper\u00a0and speck, a type of smoked prosciutto, or\u00a0Mexican-flavoured nacho shells.<\/p>\n
