Which Cheese Pairs well with our Traditional or Gluten Free Crackers?
We’re often asked for recommendations about which types of cheese pair well with our gluten free or traditional crackers - here’s our guide to some of our favourites.
Grilled Nectarine with Goat Chevre
This recipe is one of our all-time favourites, especially in Summer when nectarines are in peak season and when they are ripe and juicy. This flavourful stone fruit is really something extra special when it’s lightly cooked on a hot plate, topped with crispy ham pieces, goat chevre and our Nordic cracker crumbs. The saltiness from the ham, the creamy goodness of the goat chevre and the savoury crunch of our Nordic crackers all work together to compliment the sweet nectarines.
Edamame Bean and Avocado Dip with Mint
Edamame beans bring a mild sweet flavour with a nutty undertone to the smooth and creamy richness of avocado. With the addition of pistachio kernels for a delicious crunch, mint and lemon help enhance the overall flavours. This dip is so good, it will be on high rotation!
