Just for Cheese - Black Figs- Smooth and creamy pairs with the pungent qualities of blue cheese
The density of ripe figs, with just the right amount of sugar to avoid an overpowering sweetness, combines perfectly with blue cheeses
Added to this is the lightly roasted touch of macadamia nuts, with a smooth, moist creaminess, and finally the spicy contrast of Jamaican allspice, which, far from separating the combination of flavors, acts as a link, bringing together all these lingering tastes.
Pairings:
Roquefort, Gorgonzola, Stilton, Valdeón, Cabrales, Bleu d’Auvergne
Ingredients
Black Figs 60%, Sugar, Australian Macadamia Nuts 12%, lemon juice and Jamaican Allspice 0.5%.
