CLASSIC WINE PAIRING
With this hard sheep cheese you can bring out the red Bordeaux – but something fruity such as a versatile Bordeaux Superieur or one from the Côtes such as Castillon or Cadillac – perfect to break down the proteins in the cheese and ham – with the pear offering a sweet contrast.
ORIGINAL WINE PAIRING
A Bordeaux sweet wine. Surprise your guests with a slightly sweet wine from the Sauternes appellation – the sweetness will bring a delightful contrast to the salty, tangy flavors of the cheese and ham.
INGREDIENTS
- esquirou (sheep's milk cheese)
- 1 pear (not too ripe)
- 3 slices of serrano ham cut very thin
- crackers
Instructions
Cut 6 slices of cheese not too thick. Peel and cut 6 slices of pear.
Put the slices of cheese on the crackers, then top with slices of pears. Finally, arrange the ham harmoniously on top.
