President Rondele with Nectarines and Hazelnuts

White Wine

Add some sip to your nosh. A little white wine can complement the creaminess of the cheese while accenting the nectarines’ fruitiness.

Tip

Sprinkling alfalfa sprouts on top of the rondelé can add a burst of color to complement the orange of the nectarines.

Hazelnuts

Adding hazelnuts brings the crunch. Hazelnuts are common in European desserts, so it’s only fitting they’d be delicious in such a sweet and creamy cheese board. The nuttiness brings weight to the otherwise light characteristics this combination creates.

Arugula

Arugula is a leafy green herb with a lot of personality. It’s spicy, peppery and great as the base of a salad or even sautéed as a side dish. Its distinctive flavor adds brightness and color to the cheese board.

Tip

Arugula is known as "rocket" in the UK. It’s truly an explosive green.

Nectarines

Elevate Rondele’s relaxed flavor with the luscious tang of nectarines. Pairing rondelé with nectarines adds a zing that truly satisfies your palate. The sweet and sour flavor of the nectarines pairs perfectly with the creaminess of the rondelé. And because nectarines tend to be more aromatic than peaches, this pairing will really tantalize the senses.
