Why we love the cheese
Small and mighty Apricity is the newest specialty from Alemar Cheese Co, a creamery making incredible artisan cheese right here in Minneapolis. Fluffy, tangy, and rich, Apricity is the perfect bite to satisfy your decadent cheese cravings, while still offering enough freshness to ease into spring.
Why we love the wine
Okay, it’s a little early to say it’s truly rosé season. But honestly, it’s always rosé season and we’d rather look ahead than look back. This wine is a classic example of crisp, clean, Mediterranean rosé from Provence, with subtle notes of just ripe white peaches, honey, and stone.
Why we love the pairing
The Peyrassol rosé is acidic enough to handle the Apricity, balancing the tang and brightness of the cheese. The body of the wine holds up to the rich texture of the cheese, without wiping it away. Aromas of honey in the wine highlight the sweeter, creamier qualities of the cheese, creating an easy, comforting, and delicious experience.
What else you should do with it
Apricity is a lovely cheese for baking! Bake the Apricity and a drizzle of honey in some puff pastry. If you want to go savory, try mushrooms, leeks, and onions. Both styles are super easy to make with a high-quality store-bought puff pastry and go perfectly with the Peyrassol rosé
