fernando and max pairing, maybe?
fernando alonso as manchego viejo & max verstappen as vlaskaas
notes
manchego is an aged sheep's cheese with a strong, distinctive flavor. it is known for being durable and portable but is also a good melter
vlaskaas is named for flax, which was historically an important part of the dutch economy. it is sweet and surprisingly sharp
these two cheeses work well together because they balance each other out: some of their attributes are opposites, but many are the same
serving
pair with figs, toasted peasant bread, sage, walnuts, and malbec wine
eat on fresh sourdough with sharp mustard and a drizzle of honey
melt together in a grilled cheese on crusty white bread with slices of peach, caramelized onions, chili oil, and a sprinkle of thyme
