What goes with Celeriac?
Celeriac is a dense swollen stem base rather than a true root. It contains substantial water, fibre, carbohydrates, pectic substances and phenolic compounds. Its distinctive celery-like aroma comes from a complex group of volatile compounds, and its firm structure is strongly influenced by the pectin network within the tissue.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Celeriac?
Celeriac benefits from acidity, orchard fruit, nuts, mushrooms and herbs that support its earthy, celery-like aroma. Apple and mustard add freshness; hazelnut and mushroom reinforce savoury depth; truffle and lovage amplify its aromatic character. Heavy sweetness is generally less useful than controlled bitterness and acidity.
