Honey & Cheese

Let us introduce you to one of the most magical pairings: honey and cheese. Combining the natural sweetness of honey with the rich, savoury and salty flavours of cheese creates a harmonious balance that tantalizes the taste buds and will elevate your cheeseboard experience to new heights.

When it comes to creating the perfect cheeseboard, honey serves as an excellent accompaniment, adding depth and complexity to you cheese selections. The sweetness of honey will complement the saltiness and creaminess of the cheese; intensifying their inherent flavours and textures. Always remember, honey is meant to enhance the flavour of cheese, not smother it, so use it sparingly.

When pairing cheese with honey there are no hard and fast rules. Most pairings come down to personal preference and are subjective to the honey you enjoy and the cheeses that you like.

The diverse and complex flavours of Australian honey mean you can keep it as simple or as complex as you like. Consider the different flavour profiles of honey; delicate, fruity, warm or bold. The delicate sweetness of clover honey complements the mildness of fresh goat cheese, while the robust and bold flavour of buckwheat honey pairs beautifully with pungent blue cheese.
