MONGER MADNESS WEEK 2

MONGER MADNESS WEEK 2

We are spending March putting our mongers up to the challenge of the pair-off of the century. They’re provided the texture, that’s it, and they have to make the best pairings in the world. 


This week’s texture… “crunchy, crumbly, salty”


The competitors:

Finback with Wozz Sour Cherry Spiced Wine Compote

It’s safe to say we are absolutely obsessed with Mystic Cheese and the Finback is no exception. Finback is an ode to the times when it took a whole village to make a wheel of cheese! Farmers would pool all of their fresh curds for a few days until they had enough to make a wheel of cheese to age. Mystic cheese is reviving that tradition by using multiple batches of curds to make this wheel. It is crumbly, with a bright citrus burst, and a big savory finish. Paired with this Sour Cherry Spiced Wine Compote really takes you on a flavor journey through time.

Reypenaer VSOP with Potlicker Raspberry Smoked Maple Jam

We know you love this jam, not get ready to fall in love with this gouda. Perfectly crumbly in all the right places, while maintaining such a dense bite, this cheese shows its age beautifully. With the sweet and savory play of a smoked fruit jam beside it, this pairing gives you all sides of umami and sweet with each bite. 
 

 

The public (that's you!) has come in each Saturday to taste and vote for your favorite! 

 

AND THE WINNER IS….

 

 

*drum roll*
