In Celebration of World Chocolate Day

We’ve all heard of cheese and chutney, and even cheese and beer, but have you tried cheese and chocolate?!

In celebration of World Chocolate Day which takes place on Friday 7th July, we’re shining a light on this more quirky of pairings and singing it’s praises as a taste sensation everyone should try!

Both creamy and smooth, chocolate and cheese have a lot in common, but it’s the delicate balance between the sweetness of the chocolate and the creamy savouriness of the cheese that really makes the partnership sing.

Did you know that we have our own Cheese and Chocolate Tasting Box here at Wensleydale Creamery?  Created in partnership with fellow Yorkshire artisans, Choc Affair, we’ve paired four of our more popular cheeses with some of their delicious range to create the ultimate unusual gift for chocolate lovers.

Enjoy a combination of our waxed cheese truckles including Yorkshire Wensleydale, Yorkshire Wensleydale & Cranberries and Yorkshire Wensleydale & Stem Ginger all perfectly paired with three delicious bars from Choc Affair’s range; Lime & Sea Salt Dark Chocolate, Honey Milk Chocolate and Orange Dark Chocolate along with pairing notes so you can truly immerse yourself in this quirky culinary moment.

Joining us at the Creamery this summer?  Our new Yorkshire Cheese Bar menu – our take on tapas style dining – features this special combination on the menu for you to try.  Enjoy Yorkshire Wensleydale & Stem Ginger alongside Choc Affair’s Lime & Sea Salt Dark Chocolate as part of your meal or visit our Cheese & Gift shop which stocks a huge selection of flavours, and of course our full range of handcrafted cheeses, so you can discover your own favourite combination!
