Easter invites us to pause, unwind, and savour the simple pleasures. Whether you’re drawn to something creamy and delicate or bold with character, there’s a perfect pairing to enjoy. Let us inspire your next moment of sharing with our Cheese Pairing Wheel.
1. Start with your cheese of choice
From a mellow, buttery Brie to a punchy, blue Stilton, pick a cheese that speaks to your mood – or your menu.
2. Add a little contrast (or harmony)
Think ripe apricots to lift a mature Cheddar, or roasted hazelnuts to mirror the warm, nutty notes of a well-aged Comté. Play with textures and flavours that feel just right.
3. Finish with Peter’s Yard crackers
Our Sourdough Crackers bring balance and crunch to every bite, making your pairings even more memorable.
Pungent Cheeses
Stinking Bishop, Epoisses, Taleggio
To Accompany:
Cornichons, Cured meats
Pair With:
Original Sourdough Crackers
Perfect for:
Easter Wine & Cheese Night
Pungent cheeses work well with the malty rye flavour and contrasting crunch of our Original Sourdough Crackers. Cheeses of this style, e.g. Taleggio, often have a meaty flavour so it’s no surprise that they also work well with cured meats. Cornichons add a bit of bite and a nice tang to round off the pairing.
Crumbly Cheeses
Lancashire, Caerphilly, Wensleydale
To Accompany:
Cherries, Dark chocolate
Pair With:
Rye & Charcoal Sourdough Crackers
Perfect for:
Unhurried moments
The malty flavour of our Rye & Charcoal Sourdough Crackers provides the perfect base for mild, crumbly cheeses. Dark chocolate sounds like a strange accompaniment but it works well with the buttery sweetness of this style of cheese, while cherries will cut through the fat. Everything comes together to form a striking mouthful on the black charcoal crackers.
Soft & Bloomy Cheeses
Brie, Camembert, Delice de Bourgogne
To Accompany:
Pickled veg, Truffle
Pair With:
Pink Peppercorn Sourdough Crackers
Perfect for:
Spring Garden Lunch
The crunch and spicy kick of our Pink Peppercorn Sourdough Crackers adds a new dimension to soft, earthy Bries or Camemberts. Truffle enhances the earthy notes present in this style of cheese further, while pickled cabbage cuts through the richness.
Fresh Cheeses
Curds, Feta, Goats cheese
To Accompany:
Olives, Watermelon
Pair With:
Rosemary & Sea Salt Sourdough Crackers
Perfect for:
An impromptu evening with neighbours
The lactic tang of a fresh cheese pairs well with the aromatic, herbal flavours in our Rosemary & Sea Salt Sourdough Crackers. Watermelon provides a refreshing and sweet contrast to a salty feta or curd cheese, while olives enhance any briney notes.
Blue Cheeses
Stilton, Roquefort, Gorgonzola
To Accompany:
Pears, honey
Pair With:
Fig & Spelt Sourdough Crackers
Perfect for:
An elegant post-dinner cheese course
Our Fig & Spelt Sourdough Crackers are made with whole fig pieces and honey. These sweet notes work well with the saltiness of a blue cheese. Accompaniments like ripe pears and a drizzle of honey will take this pairing to the next level.
Nutty & Fruity Cheeses
Comté, Gouda, Cheddar
To Accompany:
Hazelnuts, Figs
Pair With:
Poppy Seed Sourdough Crackers
Perfect for:
Family Sharing Platter
Our Poppy Seed Sourdough Crackers are made with white and black poppy seeds and British rapeseed oil, giving them a mellow nutty flavour and crisp texture. They work well with nutty & fruity cheeses. The figs will bring out the fruity notes of a Cheddar while roasted hazelnuts echo the nuttiness of Comté.
