How to Pair Cheese With Sparkling Wine
Whether it is Champagne from France, Cava from Spain, a
sparkling wine from the Soho NYC winebars, or Prosecco from Italy, pairing decadent cheese with elegant bubbly
is one of life's pleasures. You don't need to have a good wine-and-cheese
pairing only for New Year's Eve or another special occasion—it's ideal for a
regular Friday night, simply to celebrate the end of the workweek.
A good French Wine restaurant, like of St Tropez can often help point you in
the right direction when it comes to picking a cheese to serve with wine, as
can a cheesemonger. Below is the list of cheese that goes super well with
sparkling wine. Note it down away!
Triple Creme
Luxurious cheese meets luxurious wine. Triple Crème (or
double cream) cheeses are rich and buttery with a whipped texture and fairly
mild flavor, similar to brie cheese. The much butterfat content in triple crème
cheeses that coats your mouth in creamy goodness is balanced out by the
refreshing bubbles in sparkling wine. Look for Triple Crème cheeses such as,
Brillat-Savarin, Saint Andre, Mt. Tam and Pierre-Robert, or a double cream like
Cremont.
Also, Triple crème pairs best with Prosecco, particularly dry
versions, as well as French cremants, such as rose Cremantd'Alsace. The acidity
in dry wines cuts through the creaminess of triple crème cheeses.
Camembert
This genre cheese has a seductive but not overpowering—unless
it's super ripe—flavor. The woodsy, mushroomy flavor of Camembert pairs nicely
with the yeasty and fruity flavors in sparkling wine, particularly Champagne.
Similar kind cheeses that are not technically Camembert but share some of its
qualities also pair well with sparkling wine. Look for Pave d'auge or
Roucoulons.
Parmigiano Reggiano
This kind of cheese is more acidic than creamy and more dense
than airy. It is found at the same region at Lambrusco, a red sparkling wine,
and the two just seem to work together. The Parmigiano Reggiano is different
than standard Parmesan, which isn't made in the European Union, so make sure
you're picking out the right kind.
