Tasty Flavor Pairing Ideas for TLC Party Crackers

Pairing Cheese with TLC Party Crackers

Gina Freize*, president and cheese expert from Venissimo Cheese Shop in San Diego, California, recommends the following cheese pairings to complement Kashi's new entertainer-style crackers.

Stoneground 7 Grain

This delicious cracker should be served with Amsterdam Reserve, a one-year aged Gouda from Holland. Any Gouda with a buttery or butterscotch undertone would be lovely, as the sweetness of the cheese complements the heartiness of the grains.

Mediterranean Bruschetta

This cracker goes best paired with Pecorino Lucano, an herbaceous pecorino from Italy. Any aged sheep-milk cheese would be great because the natural oils in the cheese enhance the tomato and basil flavors in the cracker.

Roasted Garlic & Thyme

We suggest you serve this cracker with Cougar Gold, a tangy cheddar from Washington State University. The sharp cheddar cheese enhances the garlic and herb seasonings. Any sharp cheddar will work; the garlic needs a powerful counterpart to create the perfect pairing.
