Cheese and Chocolate

It’s an unexpected combination that works beautifully: Liz Thorpe, VP of Murray’s Cheese, declares artisanal chocolates a natural match for cheese, as both boast complex bouquets and flavors. Pralus, a French chocolatier, specializes in chocolates with high cacao content: Fortissima, perhaps the most intense, clocks in at 80 percent. Equateur is slightly more tannic and aromatic. Venezuela features a touch of vanilla. Match them with Holland’s bourbon-like Boerenkaas, Murray’s own stinky English Stilton, and bloomy French Cremeaux d’Argental. Spirits aficionados will love the added challenge of pairing drink to chocolate to cheese.
