Cheese pairing – Scaldis Prestige

Beer with an impression of wood, with outstandingly fruity aroma and touches of red and black fruits

Type: reheated hard cheese / Example: Comté or l’Etivaz d’Alpage

A complex beer with aromas of wine that combines perfectly with a slightly salty cheese that echoes the flavors found in the beer. The Comté is less strong, leaving more room for the beer, whereas the l’Etivaz merges the taste of the beer into the background, taking central role itself.
