I<\/span>t\u2019s hard enough choosing between pie flavors at a holiday feast\u2014but add cheese to that after-dinner spread, and you\u2019ve got even more reason to pay attention to the dessert course.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For Eric\u00a0Schack<\/a>, lead artisan of\u00a0Salumi\u00a0e\u00a0Formaggi\u00a0at\u00a0Eataly\u00a0Downtown in New York City and the winner of the Summer 2018\u00a0Cheesemonger\u00a0Invitational<\/a>, pie and cheese go gangbusters. With its variety of textures\u2014from flaky crust to smooth,\u00a0jammy, and\u00a0even crunchy interiors\u2014pie,\u00a0Schack\u00a0says, \u201cadds so much more complexity than something like a preserve.\u201d Plus, he quips, \u201cWho doesn\u2019t love pie?\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For some, the salty-sweet combo of cheddar and apple might be old hat. But worry not, experimental eaters, Schack shares his picks for taking the formula to the next level. At the dessert table, let pie and cheese break bread: Pecan pairs with nutty pecorino; old-school apple reunites with clothbound cheddar; silky pumpkin mingles with sumptuous goat\u2019s milk; and tart cherry woos a grassy Alpine wedge.<\/p>\n

1.<\/strong>\u00a0 Luigi\u00a0<\/a><\/b>Guffanti<\/b>\u00a0Pecorino\u00a0<\/b>Maremmano<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Origin:<\/strong> Tuscany, Italy\u00a0<\/span>
\nMilk:<\/strong> Raw or pasteurized sheep\u2019s milk\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

+<\/strong><\/div>\n

Pecan pie<\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u00a0<\/span>\u201cYou get a lot of the nuttiness that\u2019s inherent to\u00a0pecorino cheeses and some of those lanolin notes as well,\u201d says\u00a0Schack, of Luigi Guffanti\u2019s version that\u2019s aged just over 60 days. \u201cThe melt-in-your-mouth consistency of this\u00a0pecorino works really wonderfully alongside pecan pie.\u201d For textural contrast, try a rough crumble of pecorino over pie.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u00a0\u00a02.\u00a0<\/span>Bleu Mont Dairy<\/a> Bandaged Cheddar<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Origin:<\/strong> Blue Mounds, Wis.\u00a0<\/span>
\nMilk:<\/strong> Pasteurized cow\u2019s milk\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

+<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\n

Apple pie<\/i><\/h3>\n

Following the adage of\u00a0what<\/i>\u00a0grows together goes together<\/i>,\u00a0Schack\u00a0describes his approach to pairings as \u201cfrom the ground up.\u201d With this earthy Wisconsin cheddar, he says, \u201cIt\u2019s almost like\u00a0bringing the earth and the grass itself to the apples.\u201d Serve this bandaged cheddar as a block, and let guests break it apart between bites of pie.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

\u00a03.\u00a0<\/span>FireFly<\/b>\u00a0Farm<\/b>s<\/b><\/a>\u00a0<\/b>Cabra<\/b>\u00a0La Mancha<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Origin:<\/strong> Accident, Md.\u00a0<\/span>
\nMilk:<\/strong> Pasteurized goat\u2019s milk\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

+<\/strong><\/div>\n
\n

Pumpkin pie<\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

Here,\u00a0Schack\u00a0plays off the velvety texture of pumpkin pie\u2019s custard filling with a washed-rind cheese. \u201cWhen I think of one of the roundest flavors in cream territory, I think of goat\u2019s milk,\u201d\u00a0he says. \u201cThis washed rind doesn\u2019t give too strong a flavor, but brings just enough\u00a0[ital]Brevibacterium<\/i>\u00a0linens<\/i>[\/ital]\u00a0activity that there\u2019s an almost caramel quality to it.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

4. Bitto<\/b>\u00a0PDO\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Origin<\/strong>: Lombardy, Italy\u00a0<\/span>
\nMilk:<\/strong> Raw cow\u2019s and goat\u2019s milk\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

+<\/strong><\/div>\n
\n

Cherry pie<\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

Alpine cheese and cherries\u00a0are\u00a0a match made in heaven (think: kirsch and fondue). The sweet-tart intensity of the pie finds a friend in this Italian Alpine cheese that\u2019s rich in grassy, nutty notes of tropical fruit flavor. \u201cIt makes me thirsty for a strong glass of schnapps just thinking about it,\u201d says\u00a0Schack. \u201cIt\u2019s harmonious.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Top\u00a0<\/b>I<\/b>t Off<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Though we\u2019re getting cheesy with our pie, whipped cream<\/a> still finds a seat at the table.\u00a0Schack\u2019s\u00a0secret ingredient?\u00a0Cheese-infused cream. Lightly cook grated cheese in cream\u2014to avoid boiling, a double burner works best here\u2014let cool, and then whip or drizzle onto a slice. Classic plain cream has a purpose, too, he says: An unsweetened whip will help disperse the cheese\u2019s flavor throughout the palate for an ultra-indulgent bite.<\/p>\n
