*Camembert is a delicacy perfectly fit for this holiday! It’s delicious when melted in the oven. Serve with some berries or roasted grapes, crusty bread, and some jam or honey! - Don’t forget to add your fruits.
Grapes pair perfectly as do all berries, pears, and green apples!
This will add great color, as well as sweet and tangy flavors, that complement the salty cheese.
- Don’t Skip the Crunch.
Add some different nuts for texture and nibbling, and some great crusty bread and Tuscanini thin parchment crackers to serve with your cheeses.
