Olives
The saltiness and texture goes best with 3 year cheddar.
Pears
A sweetness that complements without overpowering.
Chutneys
The sweeter the chutney, the milder the cheddar.
Nuts
Unsalted is best. Walnuts are an especially good choice.
Baguette Slices
Plain, toasted or broiled. A good choice for any cheddar, but especially extra old. Thinly sliced and toasted artisanal breads or fruit breads are also ideal.
Apples
The acidity refreshes and clears the palate. We recommend royal gala.
