From the bold and rich flavor of Gorgonzola to the delicate and creamy Camembert, from the zesty Pecorino Romano to the soft and versatile Ricotta, each of these cheeses is worth a try.
Today we will tell you how to properly combine them with other foods and drinks to get maximum pleasure and benefit.
Gorgonzola
The most striking example of blue cheese. Because of its color, it is also called blue cheese. If you can stand its aggressive aroma, you will enjoy its wonderful taste.
It is rich in vitamin K2 and calcium, making it beneficial for building bone density and health.
Gorgonzola pairs well with dried fruit and honey, and tastes even better when added to warm soup.
Camembert
This French cheese with white mold is often found in wine bars. It got its name because it was made in the Camembert region of Normandy.
Said to have been a favourite of Napoleon, this cheese has a creamy texture and a tangy flavour.
Camembert contains high amounts of folate and is known to help prevent dementia.
The flavor is doubly enhanced if you melt it lightly and spread it on bread or cut it into thin slices and drink it with wine.
Pecorino Romano
An Italian hard cheese made from sheep's milk, produced on the island of Sardinia. It can be grated and sprinkled on a dish or used to make a sauce.
The piquant taste of Pecorino Romano is so famous that there is a recipe that calls for this type of cheese. It has much more calcium than any other cheese product.
This makes it useful for people who are deficient in this mineral in their body.
Pairs well with watermelon, melon, and also with red wine or dry white wine with strong tannins.
Ricotta
Translated from Italian, ricotta means “re-cooked”.
It is easy to make at home as all you need is milk, lemon juice and salt. Recently, the number of people making it at home has been increasing.
Since it is a cheese made by mixing milk, it contains a high amount of protein.
Additionally, it is known to regulate blood sugar levels, making it beneficial for people with diabetes.
Top your baguette with ricotta cheese, dried fruit or ham and drizzle with balsamic vinegar and olive oil for a truly heavenly experience. Especially with a glass of white wine, which pairs well with this dish.
