What does the Flamin’ Heart Hot & Spicy Cheese Truckle actually taste like?

What would you pair with a Hot & Spicy Cheese Truckle?
First of all, it’s all about understanding the type and flavour of the cheese first. Some pairings might not work for a softer cheese in comparison to something more firm with a strong flavour. So, with this Flamin Hot & Spicy Cheese Truckle, it would need something to match the hot and intense flavour.
There are many different ways to pair cheese from a wonderful wine to crackers, fruit, chutney, pickles, bread, crisps, olives and the list goes on and on. But to help you on your cheese journey we have simplified these pairings to these few options to help you get started.
Crackers can be used as a base to start piling slices of cheese and dollops of chutney on top for the ultimate cheese and cracker combination. A strong cracker adds that extra crunch and savoury flavour to the creamy texture of the cheese. Creamy and crunchy textures pair perfectly, you wouldn’t think it, but it works.
To take a step further in your cheese journey, you might want to add some chutney to the mix. You have a base (the cracker), the slice of cheese, and now you need to uplift the flavours with the assistance of the chutney.
We recommend pairing our Flamin’ Heart Hot & Spicy Cheese Truckle with our Chuckling Caramelised Onion Chutney. Why? You already have spicy cheese. Why not add something more subtle with a sweet flavour?
Just simply grab a spoon and dollop some on the cheese. Now you should have three layers.
Layer 1. Crunchy Cracker
Layer 2. Flamin’ Heart Hot & Spicy Cheese Truckle
Layer 3. Delicious Chuckling Caramelised Onion Chutney
Now, what are you waiting for? Get Pairing. Or are you too scared to face the heat?
What wine shall I pair cheese with?
If you are looking for a bold combination of cheese and wine then look to pair our Flamin’ Heart Cheese Truckle with a dry red wine that is medium-bodied. This pairs perfectly with spicy cheeses and delivers a bold combination.
For example; a Cabernet Sauvignon or a Merlot.
