The temperature drops and the idea of a wine and cheese night comes up, right? So here are some tips to make the most of this tasty combination.

Do not over do the amounts

To really savor each cheese and each wine, the tip is: one good bottle of each type of wine and 250 g of cheese for each person.

Add-ons are welcome

To enhance the culinary experience, bet on cold cuts such as Italian salami, prosciutto, breads and pâtés. Not forgetting the first tip about amounts, of course.

Harmony is everything

An important part of wine and cheese tasting is pairing. We have prepared some suggestions to help:

Blue cheeses (Roquefort, Gorgonzola) + fortified wines, such as Port
Minas cheese + white wines, especially Sauvignon Blanc
Mozzarella cheese + sparkling wines
Provolone cheese + Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot or Cabernet Franc
Camembert cheese + light red wines, such as Merlot and Pinot Noir, or white wines like Chardonnay
Brie cheese + Riesling, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Shiraz

Presentation also matters

From the choice of cutting board to the knives, presentation merits special attention.
Straight-edge knives like those in the Tramontina Harmoniza Cheese Set are ideal to keep from leaving serrated edges on the cheese. For the cutting board, the Tramontina Provence Cheese Board brings elegance and charm to the composition.

There, now you can enjoy your evening of wine and cheese.
