CSRTime for a drink? Then this cheese is a must
It's time again to enjoy a cosy drink with friends or family. And what absolutely must not be missing from the drinks board? Right, delicious cheese! At Henri Willig, we know better than anyone how important it is to choose the right cheeses that perfectly suit your get-together moment. That's why we have made a selection of our favourite shot cheeses that you absolutely must taste. Whether you like soft and creamy cheeses, spicy flavours or surprising combinations, you will always find the perfect cheese to accompany your drinks.
Which cheeses to accompany drinks
1. Fenugreek cheese
Our fenugreek cheese is an absolute cheese topper for with drinks. This cheese is richly filled with fenugreek seeds, giving it a slightly nutty flavour and a surprising texture. Combine this cheese with some grapes and nuts for a perfect balance.
2. Cumin cheese
Cumin cheese is a true cheese classic that always does well on the drinks board. The slightly spicy flavour of cumin gives this cheese a distinctive aroma that goes excellently with a nice glass of wine.
3. Pesto cheese
For those who like a hint of Mediterranean flavours, our pesto cheese comes highly recommended. This cheese is enriched with the delicious flavours of basil and pine nuts, making every bite a treat.
4. Lavender cheese
Looking for a special flavour experience? Then our lavender cheese is a great choice. The delicate lavender aromas give this cheese a unique twist that you should definitely taste. Pair this cheese with fresh fruit, such as peach or apricot, and serve with crunchy crackers for an elegant and surprising drink.
5. Aged cheese
For lovers of a little more mature cheese, our aged cheese is an absolute must on your drinks board. Its intense flavour and crystalline texture make this aged cheese irresistible. The crystals that form during the ripening process add a surprising crunch and an even deeper flavour. Pair a piece of Henri Willig old cow cheese 48 with a good glass of red wine and crusty baguette for the ultimate get-together experience.
6. Organic truffle cheese
If you like luxury, organic truffle cheese should not be missing with drinks. The intense truffle flavour gives this cheese a sophisticated and decadent twist. Serve this cheese with some freshly baked bread, fig jam and nuts for a chic drinks experience.
Drinks combinations to savour
Of course, cheese is delicious on its own with drinks, but it becomes even more delicious when you combine it with other flavours. Here are a few combinations that will take your drinks board to the next level:
- Fruity cheese dips: Combine your favourite shot cheeses with fruity cheese dips with pineapple, apricot, plum, fig and date. The sweet and savoury contrasts make for a delectable taste experience.
- Nuts and seeds: Add some crunchy nuts and seeds to your drinks board. Think walnuts, almonds or pumpkin seeds. They not only add texture, but also a delicious crunch.
- Fresh bread: Nothing beats the combination of fresh pieces of bread with delicious cheese. Opt for an artisan baguette, a crunchy slice of rye bread or a soft fruit roll.
- Charcuterie: Add some slices of fine charcuterie to your drinks board, such as prosciutto, salami or chorizo. The salty and savoury flavours perfectly complement the cheese.

Making cheese croquettes
These cheese croquettes are a delicious alternative to regular croquettes! This is how to make about 25 cheese croquettes: Soak the gelatine in cold water. Meanwhile, melt the butter with the garlic clove in a pan over medium-high heat. Once the butter is melted add the flour and stir until cooked. Keep stirring and then add the stock little by little until everything is absorbed. Turn off the heat and add the cheese, mustard, onion powder, pepper, soaked gelatine and salt. Stir well and then put the mixture in a baking dish with foil over it. Leave it to cool for an hour outside the fridge and then another about 4 hours in the fridge. For breadcrumbs, put the flour, eggs and breadcrumbs each in a separate deep dish. Roll balls of the cheese mixture and pass through the flour, then the egg and then the breadcrumbs. Put them in the fridge for a while and then it's time to deep-fry. About 3 minutes per ball. Thanks for your delicious recipe Danielle (@Foodaholic.co.uk)
