Aged gouda’s caramel notes shine alongside the saltiness of prosciutto, and the dried apricots bring a subtle sweetness that ties everything together beautifully.

The tangy goat cheese pairs wonderfully with the sweetness of candied pecans, and the fresh burst of flavor from berries adds a light, fruity touch.

Sharp Cheddar, Salami, Whole-Grain Mustard

Sharp cheddar’s bold flavor is balanced by the savory richness of salami, and the mustard adds a tangy, zesty kick that completes the trio.

The creamy texture of camembert is elevated by the earthy sweetness of truffle honey, while the crusty bread provides the perfect base for this indulgent pairing.

Manchego, Chorizo, Marcona Almonds

The crystalline texture of parmesan pairs beautifully with the silky prosciutto, while the balsamic glaze adds a tangy-sweet finish to this elegant combination.
