What goes with Sbrinz?
Sbrinz AOP is an extra-hard cow milk cheese matured for at least eighteen months. Its dense paste breaks into small flakes and grates finely, bringing concentrated savoury flavour, salt and a long nutty finish. The dry texture makes portion size and particle size central to its use: a fine grating seasons a dish differently from a substantial shard.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Sbrinz?
Use soft eggs, mild dairy or tender vegetables to carry small amounts of the cheese without hiding its concentration. Tomato and citrus can refresh the finish, while nuts echo its toasted character through a separate crunch. Reserve thicker flakes for dishes with moisture to spare; when blending a sauce, start with a fine grating and a gentle heat.
