What Pairs Well with Goat’s Cheese?
Goat’s cheese is soft, creamy and almost nutty in flavour, making it perfect for many recipes. If you’re wondering what sort of ingredients pair well with goat’s cheese, you’re in the right place. Our Senior Recipe Development Manager, Mimi Morley, suggests the following ingredients pair well with goat’s cheese, and gives her expert take on exactly why the flavours work so perfectly.
Fruits:
Figs, apples, pears, blueberries and raspberries add a delicious natural sweetness and acidity to dishes that balance the tanginess of goat's cheese. Their different textures also provide a pleasant mouthfeel when matched with the cheese's creaminess.
Vegetables:
Tomatoes, radishes and spinach are excellent vegetables to pair with goat’s cheese, thanks to their earthy, sweet and slightly bitter flavours. Not just that, but these vegetables add a crisp element to dishes and please the eyes of the eater with their bright and colourful appearance. After all, it is said we all ‘eat with our eyes’ too!
Nuts:
Nuts such as walnuts, pine nuts, pistachios and almonds offer an earthy flavour and crunchy texture that contrast with the creamy goat’s cheese. This is why they make excellent goat’s cheese salad toppers.
