We are incredibly fortunate to visit some of the country’s top cheesemongers and delis as we deliver our jars. We have discovered a whole new world of tremendous UK artisan cheese producers, many of which are on our doorstep in the North of England. There is a whole world of wonderful cheeses to discover in many smaller local shops.
We have selected our favourite chutneys, relishes and pickles to truly showcase the perfect pantry cheese pairings. We hope you enjoy your favourite cheeses with something extra special.
Our Blue Cheese medley perfect pantry pairing goes to our ‘Northumbrian Chutney’, ‘Pear and Ginger Chutney’ and our biggest seasonal seller ‘Christmas Chutney’.
Stilton, our wonderful Christmas Day cheese, is perfectly paired with our rich, robust and fruity ‘Christmas Chutney’.
Alice’s favourite type of cheese is any cheese made with goats milk. She is a huge fan. Bring to the table our goat specialists, ‘Spiced Beetroot and Apple Chutney’ for stronger goats cheese and our ‘Pear and Ginger Chutney’ for softer styles. Goats cheeses characteristic tart and sharp flavours are balanced so perfectly with beetroot and pear. Our ‘Apricot and Orange Chutney’ is just divine with a more citrus flavoured goats cheese.
Our perfect cheddar cheese pairing goes to our ‘Hannah Glasse’s Paco Lillla’ (Picallili). It just works wonderfully well with the subtle mustardy sharpness and perfectly chopped and diced crunchy ingredients balancing very nicely. We are very fond of our ‘Paco’ and its 2021 journey to winning 2 Stars at the Great Taste Awards, placing it as one of the top piccalillis found in the UK.
‘Spiced Carrot Jam’ and Manchego Cheese is our hard sheep cheese favourite pairing. We launched our carrot jam in January as a true cheese aficionado pairing. It has become a top seller for us throughout the country. We recommend a hard, salty cheese, such as Manchego, which combines with the sweetness in the carrot jam to offer an incredible flavour combination experience for you. It’s wonderful.
Northumberland Cheese Companies Redesdale and our ‘Spiced Carrot Jam’ will sit proudly on our cheeseboard on Christmas Day this year. Our ‘Spiced Carrot Jam’, created with hard cheeses in mind, and this excellent sheep’s cheese is just delicious. So smooth and creamy with the sweetness of the carrot providing a sweet–salt taste experience. The perfect locally supplied choice this Christmas.
Baron Bigod brie style cheese and our ‘Tomato and Red Pepper Chutney’. Our perfect pantry soft cheese pairing we’ll be enjoying this Christmas. This cheese is popular with our cheesemongers and delis in the region. We highly recommend it. Our ‘Tomato and Red Pepper Chutney’ pair exceptionally with Brie and Camembert style cheeses. It is a delicious light, smooth with the red peppers offering just a subtle sweetness.
Washed rind cheeses and ‘Pear and Ginger Chutney’ – a perfect pairing. Rind Washed cheeses flavours are difficult to describe; yeasty, meaty, salty with the rind sharp and a little bitter. The pear soothes any bitterness and balances the flavours. We are very fond of the Irish Durras cow’s milk farmhouse cheese and hope to be enjoying it on our cheeseboard this Christmas.
