Because everything is better with cheese!
You know the old saying, “Everything is better with cheese!” We wholeheartedly agree, and decided to take it a step further to see what daring pairings we could find to test our theory! We’ve curated a collection of adventurous combos that we encourage you to try out! You may be surprised just how well these seemingly odd matches actually go together!
Make Popcorn “Pop” with Parm
Cheddar flavored popcorn is nothing new, but some of the time, that powdered stuff may not even be real cheese! Why not class up your corn with real grated Parmesan? We love this recipe from Food & Wine. A bowl tossed with Italia Grated Parmesan Cheese will add some zesty new life to this traditional snack.
A Cookie that’s Sweet AND Savory
Cookies have been paired with chocolate chips and raisins for centuries, but have you ever tried a cookie with chunks of Cheddar? Get ready for a sensational combo of sweetness and savory-ness with Cheddar Cheese cookies. We love this recipe from The Flavor Bender with our Shullsburg Creamery White Cheddar because it calls for a pinch of thyme in the dough mix. Cookies for appetizers AND desserts are always a win in our book.
Holy Donut!
Okay so this combo actually isn’t “new” at all, but it may be unfamiliar to many. It is actually a very popular combination in Russia called Ponchiki. Ponchiki uses Farmer Cheese inside delectable fried dough. We recommended this recipe from Momsdish. Our popular Shullsburg Creamery Farmer Cheese provides the perfect creamy core for these treats.
Make String Cheese Even Better
We all know chocolate-dipped pretzels and chocolate-dipped strawberries, but have you ever dreamed of dipping cheese in chocolate? We know cheese and chocolate are a timeless pair when eaten together, and this next idea just makes things easier. When you are craving a cheese & chocolate combo, grab some Italia String Cheese, whip up this quick and easy Chocolate Sauce recipe from The Food Network, and get to dipping!
