E<\/span>ven before Shakespeare introduced \u201ca rose by any other name\u201d into every high school\u2019s curriculum, the aptly dubbed \u201cQueen of Flowers\u201d had a storied past. Cleopatra covered the floor of her palace room with petals before Mark Antony came to visit. Roman emperors hung rosebuds on ceilings to remind party guests to keep mum about what was said at the table. Centuries later, dueling English factions took the blossom to battle as their prickly emblems in the War of the Roses, which ended in the adoption of a double rose emblem to signify reconciliation.<\/p>\n

Passion, secrecy, war, or peace: Whatever they evoke, roses remain beloved for their mesmerizing beauty\u2014and flavor. In India, cool and creamy rose kulfi<\/em> is sold by street vendors and ice cream parlors alike. In the Middle East, rosewater-soaked baklavas, pink-hued Turkish delights, and petal-garnished halva lure many a passerby toward caf\u00e9 windows. Stateside, roses are blooming in more and more kitchens, as our culinary repertoires take a more global turn.<\/p>\n

Rose petals\u2014or rosehips, the plant\u2019s fruit\u2014can be used decoratively or transformed into preserves, syrups, and teas. The edible flower\u2019s delicate tastes and heady aromas are reminiscent of strawberries and apples, and they\u2019re no less deserving of space on our cheese plates. So, read on; a feast for the senses awaits.<\/p>\n

Rose Petals<\/h2>\n

\u201cI love using rose with cheese because the latter\u2019s earthy nature grounds the sweeter flavor of the former,\u201d says Miche Bacher, chef and author of Cooking with Flowers<\/em> (Quirk Books, 2013). But don\u2019t start noshing your bouquet quite yet\u2014she recommends finding organic roses grown without pesticides and fungicides. Garnished with petals, citrusy fresh goat\u2019s milk cheeses are elevated to new heights. A mellow-flavored honey, gently warmed with a handful of petals, also works well drizzled over an aged wheel like Vermont Creamery Coupole\u2014the rind\u2019s yeasty flavors add a savory dimension, while the inherent floral qualities in all three components are brought pleasantly to the fore.<\/p>\n

Rosehip Tea<\/h2>\n

Steeped dried rosehips make for a refreshing herbal tisane with a \u201cfairly delicate but tangy, citrus quality,\u201d says writer and tea specialist Rachel Safko. Easily overshadowed by stronger flavors, the brew should be paired with mild, creamy cheeses that round out the fruit\u2019s tang and match its \u201cdistinct luxurious quality,\u201d Safko adds. For a subtle combo, she recommends the buttery-yet-subdued French bloomy rind Fromager d\u2019Affinois. Similarly luxe and creamy, Brebirousse has a \u201cnutty, slightly peppery quality that takes the pairing in a tangier, more robust direction,\u201d Safko says.<\/p>\n

Rose Preserves<\/h2>\n

A rose preserve brings out the floral notes already present in many cheeses\u2014especially those made with grass-fed milk\u2014without overpowering them. Try a rose petal jelly with a mild, slightly nutty cheese like Alp Blossom, which is itself studded with dried flower petals from the Alps, for a \u201cclassic \u2018like-with-like\u2019 pairing,\u201d says Safko. For a bit more nuance, nibble on raw cow\u2019s milk Schnebelhorn with Quince & Apple\u2019s Raspberry Rose preserve. \u201cThe added cream…cuts through the tartness of the raspberries and really opens up the rose on the back, while keeping the sweetness intact,\u201d muses Quince & Apple sales manager Janee\u2019 Muha.<\/p>\n
