It\u2019s a matter of taste and occasion. Here are a few guidelines to consider when pairing bread or crackers with fromage:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Aged cheeses hold their own when matched with hearty bread or crackers made with seeds, whole grains, or rye flour&mdash;think <a href=\"https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/cheese-iq\/style-highlight-clothbound-cheddar\" target=\"_blank\">bandaged cheddar<\/a> with flax-and-poppyseed crisps.<\/li>\n<li>Mild and fresh cheeses do well with delicately flavored bread or crackers. For example, try <a href=\"https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/cheese-iq\/style-highlight-fresh-goat-cheese-chevre\" target=\"_blank\">che\u0300vre<\/a> or fromage blanc with rosemary flatbread or olive focaccia.<\/li>\n<li>For <a href=\"https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/blog\/style-highlight-brined-cheeses\" target=\"_blank\">feta<\/a> and other salty cheeses such as <a href=\"https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/blog\/italian-cheese-primo-pecorino\" target=\"_blank\">Pecorino Romano<\/a>, choose a cracker or bread sans extra salt.<\/li>\n<li>Stinky, <a href=\"https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/cheese-iq\/washed-rinds\" target=\"_blank\">washed-rind<\/a> cheeses sing with fruit- or nut-studded breads and crackers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Also, remember the decision is affected by the other accompaniments on offer, such as preserves, fruit, and savory toppings. Still unsure? Stick with a plain (non-sourdough) baguette or water crackers&mdash;or better yet, experiment and make your own rules.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><small><em>Feature Photo Credit: Andrew Purcell<\/em><\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cheese expert Gianaclis Caldwell answers your burning questions about the age-old debate: #TeamBread or #TeamCracker?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":28617,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"wprm-recipe-roundup-name":"","wprm-recipe-roundup-description":"","cybocfi_hide_featured_image":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[],"coauthors":[122],"class_list":["post-28615","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ask-the-monger"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.4 (Yoast SEO v24.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>What&#039;s Better with Cheese: Bread or Crackers?
