Winter appetizer board with l’Ambré affiné à la bière

Cheese at the heart of it all

Arrange the Ambré affiné à la bière cheese at the centre of the board. Remember to take the cheese out of the refrigerator 30 minutes before serving so that it is nice and creamy at room temperature.

Add a touch of sweetness

Choose seasonal fruit (e.g. persimmons, pears, figs or grapes), plus some jams or chutneys (e.g. fig jam, pear chutney, candied quince), as well as liquid honey for those who like sweet and savoury combinations.

Make it crunchy

Serve with lightly toasted slices of multigrain bread, gingerbread and breadsticks, as well as a handful of assorted nuts (e.g. pistachios, almonds, hazelnuts) for crunchiness. Top it all off with a few Kalamata olives and some fancy cold cuts, such as Coppa, Bayonne ham, or dry-cured sausage.

Recommended beer and wines

The perfect match for an amber cheese matured with beer is… amber beer! For wine lovers, we recommend Pinot Noir or Gamay, without too much tannin, for a fresher tasting experience.

Let your creativity run wild with other choice ingredients to suit everyone’s taste. Bon appétit. Enjoy!
