Rooibos Syrup Cheese Guide
Unsurprisingly, rooibos syrup goes well with most cheeses, but for all the sticklers out there – that wordplay was not lost on us – we listed a few pairing suggestions:
- Blends well with creamy soft-fresh cheeses (Chevre, Mascarpone, Ricotta)
- Condiment for soft-ripened cheeses (Brie, Camembert)
- Excellent counterpoint for hard-sharp cheeses (Asiago, Romano)
