Pears For Cheese 500ml
Beautiful pears deserve beautiful company.
There is something quietly elegant about a perfectly poached pear. Firm enough to hold its shape, yet tender enough to surrender at the first cut of a knife. Add saffron, cardamom, pink peppercorns and bay leaves to a delicately balanced sweet-and-tangy white wine vinegar brine, and an everyday pear becomes something worthy of the finest cheese board.
Our Pears For Cheese are handcrafted in small batches using Australian pears, gently poached until silky while retaining their bite. The fragrant infusion slowly perfumes each pear with warm spice, delicate floral notes and just enough acidity to refresh the palate between rich cheeses.
This recipe was inspired by traditional European preserving, where fruit and cheese have long been happy companions. The golden saffron lends a beautiful hue, while cardamom and pink peppercorns add subtle complexity rather than overt spice.
Arrange a few pear halves beside creamy Brie, buttery Triple Cream, aged Cheddar or a bold blue cheese and watch them quietly steal the show. They are equally wonderful alongside charcuterie, roast ham or served simply with vanilla ice cream and toasted walnuts for an effortless dessert.
Like many of our seasonal creations, this is a product for people who enjoy discovering something just a little different.
