What goes with Pimento Cheese?
Pimento cheese is a prepared spread built from grated cheese, chopped pimento peppers and mayonnaise, sometimes with cream cheese or further seasonings. Its salt, acidity, fat and free moisture vary with the recipe; it should be treated as a composite ingredient rather than as plain cheddar.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Pimento Cheese?
Pair the spread with crisp vegetables, browned meat and restrained bread sweetness. For Special applications, change how the cheese is delivered through the bite while keeping pepper, cheese and tang clear; heat and extra seasoning must not turn it into a generic cheese sauce.
