Ahh, blue cheese - the tangy, sharp and creamy supporting character behind salad dressings, bar dips and every classic cheese platter... These Blue Cheese & Cracked Pepper will be a standout completely on their own, as a piquant and peppery snack. GONE CRACKERS suggests the Blue Cheese & Cracked Pepper cracker is, "great with a seafood pate, or fig tapenade. A simple dollop of cream cheese works fine too..."
Blue Cheese needs special consideration when pairing with wine. It comes in many forms and varies in strength, but the sharp, tangy elements and blue veined penicillium are nicely offset by some sweetness...
Wines such as: Port, Sauterns, Icewine, late harvest wines and Viognier are perfect for after dinner. Meanwhile the peppery component of these crackers will compliment similar characters in Cabernet Franc or Syrah...
