Cheese pairing – Bush de Nuits

Beer with wine-like aromas of red and black fruits

Type: unpasteurized hard cheese / Example: Mimolette made frim raw milk

A strong, complex, slightly sour beer that re-enforces the taste of strong and complex pieces of cheese with a very long finish, such as the Mimolette.

Pascal Fauville

Type: a hard cheese / Example: Ubriaco Rosso

The fruity touches of wine in the beer and the sweetness of the cheese blend in the mouth to create a new whole. The subtle sourness from the beer lends huge added value to this pairing.
