Cheese and Olives and other Antipasti items pair well together. Here are a few of my suggestions:
Cheese | Olive | Antipasti | Notes |
Jarlsberg | Green Cerignolas | Both mild & buttery | |
Feta (Sheep) | Kalamatas | Fruitiness of olives pairs well with Tangy Sheep Feta | |
Camembert | Green Mt. Athenos | Again, both mild and buttery | |
Cabot Clothbound Cheddar | Mt. Athenos stuffed with Garlic | Sweet notes of garlic pair well with sweet, nuttiness of sharp cheddar | |
Emmenthal | Mt. Athenos Stuffed with Citrus | Citrus makes a nice balance to nutty, robust Emmenthal | |
Manchego | Mt. Athenos Stuffed with Red Peppers | Sweet, smoky peppers pair well with tangy sheep cheese | |
Comte | French Cocktail Mix | Herbal notes of this olive mix marries well with the sweet, nuttiness of Comte | |
Feta | Greek Olive Mix | Fruity Olive Mix and Tangy Feta: perfection | |
Chevre | Mt. Athenos Olives with Sicilian Herbs | Smooth herbal notes with tang of the goat cheese | |
Gruyere | Cipolline Onions | This combination tastes like French Onion Soup | |
Goat Gouda | Mt. Athenos Olives with Sicilian Herbs | Sweet and Tangy Combination | |
Pecorino Romano | Cipolline Onions | The Balsamic Finish matches the salty notes of the Romano | |
Fresh Mozzarella | Roasted Tomatoes | Next best thing to garden-fresh tomatoes | |
Blue Cheese | Peppadews | Stuff these babies with the blue cheese… yummers | |
Chevre | Roasted Red Peppers | Smoky and Citrus Tang |
