Whip out your cheese plate and get to pairing! Try delicious local Canadian cheeses for a truly Canadian pleasure.

1. Brie, White Honey, and Pinot Noir

A delicate, earthy pinot complements the creamy, buttery Canadian Brie. Drizzle it with some white honey to really bring out the fruitiness of the cheese.

2. Aged Cheddar, Sliced Apple, and Cabernet Merlot

The firm texture of a Canadian Aged Cheddar will become soft by the robust tannins of the bold cabernet merlot. This powerful pairing is both sharp and sweet.

3. Raclette, Butter Crackers, and Blackberry Jam

Tart fruits like blackberries will complement the nuttiness of the creamy Canadian Raclette. This simple yet sensational combination is what dreams are made of.

4. Mozzarella, Tomato, and Pesto

A soft, fresh Canadian mozzarella and tomato always swipes right when a dollop of pesto pops up. You’ll never be disappointed with this match made in heaven.

5. Swiss, Prosciutto, and Sauvignon Blanc

A meat-and-cheese roll-up like a light Canadian Swiss with prosciutto will pair magically with an equally light white wine like a sauvignon blanc.

6. Monterey Jack, Olives, and Salami

A versatile cheese like Canadian Monterey Jack will make your mouth smile no matter what you pair it with. Salty treats like olives and salami always make for a very pleasant pairing.

7. Blue Cheese, Dried Apricot, and Dark Honey

The earthiness from a dark honey will enhance the subtle spiciness of the Canadian Blue Cheese. Matched with apricot, this pairing makes for a beautiful blend of sweet and spicy.

8. Havarti, Herb Crackers, and Apple Cider

A semi-soft, strong-flavoured Canadian Havarti topped on herbaceous crackers and washed down with a seasonal apple cider will make for a perfect fall pairing.

9. Queso Fresco, Mango Salsa, and White Sangria

Queso YESco! You’ll never want this kind of cheese party to end. The unique flavour of a Canadian Quesco Fresco will melt in your mouth, especially when greeted with a chilled sangria to complement the taste.

10. Gouda, Prosciutto, and Pear

The versatility of a good Canadian Gouda is something to be taken advantage of. The firm texture will be a delectable match with some sliced prosciutto and fresh pear.
