What goes with Chaource?
Chaource is a soft cow milk cheese with a white bloomy rind and a fine, pale paste. A ripe exterior can surround a slightly chalky centre, giving one slice both creamy and gently crumbly textures. Its fresh dairy tang and restrained salt suit smaller, more delicate accompaniments than heavily pungent washed cheeses. Include the tender rind when its mushroom character is welcome.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Chaource?
Chaource works with crisp bread, nuts and tender vegetables that leave room for its dairy tang. A lightly cooked leek or a dry mushroom filling provides savoury depth without overwhelming the cheese. Fruit should contribute fresh fragrance and controlled moisture. When serving it with cured fish or meat, make the cheese portion modest and supply a crisp, unsalted element.
