Some couples are simply perfect and, to be sure, the combination of wine and cheese<\/strong> is one of them.<\/p>\n

We have known this union for a long time; it is said that it was a common technique to conceal the defects of a poor quality harvest by means of the powerful flavours that cheese can offer.<\/p>\n

Over time we have mastered the game of these combined perceptions to the point of making the pairing of wines and cheeses<\/strong> an art.<\/p>\n

Keys for a good pairing<\/h2>\n

The rules we can follow to marry our two elements are not rigid since personal tastes play a very important role, but taking into account certain principles will allow us to achieve very interesting matches.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Balance<\/h3>\n

Or the idea of playing with the intensity of the flavours<\/strong>, could be reduced, on one hand, to teaming strong flavoured cheeses with intense, full-bodied wines in order to prevent one taste from masking the other.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, if we opt for milder cheeses, their companion should be a more delicate light wine.<\/p>\n

There are people who turn the situation around and dare to experiment with contrasts<\/strong>, undoubtedly a much riskier option.<\/p>\n

Curing<\/h3>\n

Cheeses and wines have more similarities than we can see at first glance.<\/p>\n

If we consider their elaboration process, both products go through fermentation phases before being stored for longer or shorter periods of time; we are talking about the curing of the cheese or the ageing of the wine.<\/p>\n

It is no coincidence that aged wines<\/strong> get along so well with cured cheeses<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Source<\/h3>\n

Whether by the influence of the soil<\/strong> and climate<\/strong> on the raw product or by the approach of local producers<\/strong> when manufacturing their products, the truth is that opting for products that share a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) is a wise choice.<\/p>\n

Think of an iconic Queso Tetilla served with a fine Ribeiro<\/strong> or R\u00edas Baixas<\/strong> wine, such as our Albari\u00f1o<\/a><\/strong>. It would appear that we now understand the subject a little better.<\/p>\n

Some examples<\/h3>\n

As we have already mentioned, there is no strict rule when it comes to pairing, but there are wines and cheeses which have been born to stay together:<\/p>\n

Blue cheeses such as Roquefort and sweet white or red wines such as Port wine.<\/p>\n

Strong cheeses such as Cabrales and powerful wines such as Ribera del Duero.<\/p>\n

Matured cheeses such as Mah\u00f3n and fermented white wines such as Grenache blanc.<\/p>\n

These are just a few tips but, above all, the secret is to experiment<\/strong>, let the senses go and enjoy these two genuine delights.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
