The Ultimate Cheese, Cracker and Fruit Combos
Brie
Triple Cream Brie pairs perfectly with a dollop of honey and a slice of fig (dried or fresh) to add some sweetness to the velvetly flavour. Try it on either a plain wafer cracker to accentuate to the flavour combination or a specialty cracker to add more texture (this will taste best on a fig specialty cracker).
If you're after a bit of a crunch, add some of our honey roasted almonds to compliment the smooth and velvety flavour of the brie. The smoothness of salted cashew will also go perfectly the with brie texture.
And for a bit more tang, try adding a slice of dried apricot with the creamy brie on either a wafer or our homemade specialty cracker.

Cheddar
To elevate the sharp flavour of the Original and Classic Mersey Valley cheddar sprinkle some dried cranberries or figs to balance out the pungent flavour with a little bit of sweetness. To add some texture, try the cheddar on a specialty cracker with either of these dried fruits for the best flavour combination.
The best nut combination with any cheddar would be almonds, especially our homemade honey roasted almonds. The sharp flavour and crumbly texture of cheddar and the crunch of the almonds pairs perfectly together. ​​​​​​​​​
Blue
To balance some of the bolder blue cheese flavours, a slight spread of caramelised onion chutney or a dollop of honey would be the perfect combo.
If you're wanting a bit of texture try a cashew or two with some blue cheese on a wafer cracker. This will compliment the tanginess of the cheese!
