THESE ALL-AMERICAN PAIRINGS ARE FRESH OFF THE LIFT AND TURNING TRICKS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This season\u2019s Alpine-style cheese plate is inspired by hitting the slopes, but it\u2019s actually perfect for apr\u00e8s-ski: when athletes and amateurs sip and socialize at the lodge after a day on the mountain. Not just any lodge or mountain, though\u2014think of Aspen, Colorado, or Stowe, Vermont, since these pairings are entirely domestic. That\u2019s on purpose. Kimi Ceridon<\/a>, founder and head cheese of Life. Love. Cheese. <\/a>in Wakefield, Massachusetts, chose American artisan products because, as she says, that\u2019s her jam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For her selections, Ceridon thought about approachable cheeses for gatherings and the general vibes of winter. Some of those vibes translate into different activities that take place at a ski chalet, such as sitting by the hearth with hot chocolate or watching movies in bed as snow falls outside. Novices on the bunny slope and Olympians alike will agree that these five expert offerings appeal to all palates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

VERMONT SHEPHERD INVIERNO<\/strong>
<\/a>Origin:<\/strong> Putney, Vermont | Milk:<\/strong> Raw Cow and Sheep
+ Savory Onion Confit<\/a> by Blake Hill Preserves<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Craving a crock of French onion soup? Go for this pairing. The winter version of Vermont Shepherd\u2019s Invierno includes a touch of cow\u2019s milk, which lends the cheese buttery and warm notes, according to Ceridon. Blake Hill Preserves Savory Onion Confit adds a dose of richness when dolloped atop Invierno\u2014like drinking soup from a warm mug.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

WOODLAWN FARMSTEAD PAWLET<\/strong>
<\/a>Origin:<\/strong> Pawlet, Vermont | Milk:<\/strong> Raw Cow
+ Ramp Salami<\/a> by Small Good<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Small Good\u2019s Ramp Salami is a preview of spring that mingles \u201cwonderfully\u201d with Pawlet\u2019s light and meaty funk, says Ceridon. The profile on this pairing is vegetal, like savoring a winter snack while daydreaming about what\u2019s to come in warmer months, since ramps emerge in March, heralding the end of ski season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

MEADOW CREEK DAIRY APPALACHIAN<\/strong>
<\/a>Origin:<\/strong> Galax, Virginia | Milk:<\/strong> Raw Cow
+ Banana Foster Pecans<\/a> by Q\u2019s Nuts<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ceridon tastes a grassiness in this aptly named cheese hailing from the Blue Ridge Parkway. The pecans provide a subtle hint of banana that plays nicely with the earthy, fruity, and toasted butter notes of the cheese. This pairing is giving Netflix and chill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

MYSTIC CHEESE COMPANY MELINDA MAE<\/strong>
<\/a>Origin:<\/strong> Groton, Connecticut | Milk:<\/strong> Pasteurized Cow
+ Raw Pistachio Butter<\/a> by Wilderness Poets<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Think of Melinda Mae and pistachio butter as a mid-slope nosh. \u201c[It\u2019s for when] you don\u2019t want raclette and are craving a light snack before tackling the rest of the mountain,\u201d Ceridon says. Pistachio butter is reminiscent of on-trend Dubai chocolate, while fluffy Melinda Mae is naturally creamy and bright. Together, the two are as luxurious as a five-star resort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

HIGH LAWN FARM HIGH LAWN BLUE<\/strong>
<\/a>Origin:<\/strong> Lee, Massachusetts | Milk:<\/strong> Pasteurized Cow
+ Burnt Sugar & Fennel Shortbread<\/a> by Lark Fine Foods<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ceridon counts High Lawn Blue among her favorite blues. \u201cIt\u2019s just a creamy, dreamy blue cheese that\u2019s really approachable, even for people that don\u2019t like blue cheese,\u201d she says. \u201cIt\u2019s easygoing, but still has that little punch at the back end.\u201d She pairs it with Burnt Sugar & Fennel Shortbread by Lark Fine Foods to contrast sharp and sweet flavors. This is a fireside duo\u2014\u201cSomething that feels like s\u2019mores but not quite.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
