Sommelier Patrizio will give his wine recommendation for Chef’s Handyman for this delicious cheese dessert with spicy honey. (pls see also page wine, information)
The honey is very delicious with soft cheese, goat’s or sheep cheese, e.g. Feta cheese,brie.
To make lemon honey, place 8 tbsp. of honey in a glass. Add lemon rind. Store honey for 1-2 days.
To make honey with tomatoes and gloves, place 12 tbsp. of honey in a glass. Add dried tomato pieces and 10 gloves. Store honey for 1-2 days.
To make cherry honey, place 10 tbsp. of honey in a glass. Add 15 pitted cherries and black pepper or Maggia pepper. Store honey for 1-2 days.
Place 2-3 different cheese pieces on a plate. Add honey. Garnish with oregano and thyme. Serve with Spanish fig bread with almonds or fruit bread.
Sommelier Patrizio recommends:
To harmonize wine and cheese is not always easy to do. Each type of cheese is great with another wine. If the right combination can be found, than both wine and cheese will give a delicious culinary surprise.
Cheese does have many flavorful variations. It depends of the cheese production and the milk. The cheese chosen for this dessert (goat’s or sheep cheese) are soft and mild in taste with a hint of sourness. Thyme, oregano and black pepper do give a light flavor and the honey has a sweet taste.
I do recommend a mild wine with a good minerality and freshness to harmonize the sweetness of the honey and the fat in the cheese. The wine does combine the fragrance of the meal and the different tastes.
My favorite one is the Verdicchio from Metalica, like this Vertis:
Grapes: Verdicchio 100%
Eye: Yellow, clear, consistent
Nose: Intensiv, complex, flowery, peach, citrus, herbs, elegant, mineral note
Mouth: Dry, soft, fresh, minerality, elegant, balancing, after taste fresh and with herbs
