In this series of cheese truckle pairing ideas, discover interesting facts about our delicious truckles of cheese and expand your knowledge of cheese and chutney pairings. Here we will be focusing on our best-selling Caramelised Red Onion Cheese Truckle. 
 

For anyone new to us, we are a British Artisan Cheese Company based in Skegness, Lincolnshire UK. We have a contemporary range of over 40 different flavoured cheddars that are all expertly made on our family-run farm here in Lincolnshire. 
 

This unique cheddar has been blended with a delicious, homemade caramelised onion chutney that has been slowly caramelised to ensure the chutney is sweet, vibrant, and not too overwhelming. We’ve swirled this sweet chutney into our creamy, mature cheddar to bring this best-seller to life. 

What does the Caramelised Red Onion Cheese Truckle taste like? 

Our best-selling Caramelised Red Onion Cheese Truckle is quite certainly one of our most unique and finely crafted cheddars that provides a vibrant flavour. Laced with a caramelised onion chutney to bring a deliciously sweet, creamy cheddar to any cheeseboard. 

What should you pair with this Caramelised Red Onion Truckle? 

First of all, it’s all about understanding the type and flavour of the cheese first. Some pairings might not work for softer cheeses in comparison to something slightly more firm with a strong flavour like our Vintage Cheddar. So with our Caramelised Red Onion Cheese Truckle, it would need something to match its sweet, vibrant, and light 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.

Start Your Cheese Pairings With Classic Crackers

 

Crackers are the perfect base to start piling slices of cheese and dollops of chutney on top of for the ultimate cheese and cracker combination. We recommend pairing this delectable truckle with something just as fragrant and light that adds extra crunch and a savoury flavour to the cheese. Creamy and crunchy crackers pair perfectly. 

We recommended pairing our Caramelised Red Onion Truckle with Kent & Fraser Roasted Onion & Nigella Seeds Cheese Wafers! Why you might ask? These aromatic crackers have been baked to perfection with roasted onions and mature cheddar and hints of nigella seeds to provide a luxurious cracker that compliments the slowly caramelised onions perfectly.

Add Delicious Chutney

To take your pairings a step further we recommend adding some chutney to the mix. You have the base (the cracker), the slice of cheese, and now you need to glue these together with uplifting flavours of chutney. 

We recommend pairing our Caramelised Red Onion Cheese Truckle with our Chuckling Caramelised Onion Chutney. Why? You already have the cheese laced with it. Why not uplift the flavours with what’s already blended inside the truckle? 

Just simply grab a spoon and dollop some on the cheese. Now you should have three layers. 

Layer 1. Roasted Onion & Nigella Seeds Cracker 

Layer 2. Caramelised Red Onion Cheddar 

Layer 3. Delicious Caramelised Onion Chutney 

So what are you waiting for? Get pairing!

I have the snacks and condiments to pair but what wine shall I pair cheese with?

If you are looking for a luxurious combination of cheese and wine then look to pair our Caramelised Red Onion Cheese truckle with a Pinot Noir. High in acidity and full of bright strawberry, cherry, and raspberry flavours that will compliment the sweetness of the caramelised onions. 

Taking cheese pairing to the next level

Grab a cheeseboard (If you don’t have one check out our range of oak cheeseboards here) and pile it full of cheese, fruit, olives, crackers and bread for the ultimate feast! Fill it full of savoury snacks and you’ve got a feast perfect for after dinner, during a buffet, or for snack ideas when you’re entertaining guests.
