But did you know there’s actually some science behind why they go so well together? The acidity and tannin in wine act as a palate cleanser, scraping off the fat and protein in cheese.
It’s all about the mouthfeel — salty, creamy cheese balances the astringency and acid in wine, and fat neutralises the tannins. It’s the same reason we add a dash of milk to a strong cup of tea. It’s a nicer, tastier, more balanced experience.
In short, opposites attract and create a delicious experience for your tastebuds!
