Lavender honey
Derived from the nectar of lavender, this specialty honey pairs its natural sweetness with the elegant fragrance of lavender. It’s especially popular among chefs, it adds the perfect touch to your summer salad.
Shiso
Shiso is a Japanese green that really screams “fresh.” It combines the freshness of an herb, mixes it with citrus, with an element of savory. It’s an unexpected flavor when you bite into it, and will be a great topping for your summer salad.
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 cheeseboard. The nuttiness brings weight to the otherwise light characteristics this combination creates.
Tip
You can toast hazelnuts in the oven or on the stovetop. Just remember to keep an eye on them to ensure they don’t burn.
