The Cheese Board

There's really nothing better than a freshly popped bottle of bubbles on the back patio on a warm summer night. Unless, of course, you also have a cheese board on that patio. Sparkling wine or champagne is the perfect compliment to cheese. Here are some of our favorite ways to pair Emmi cheeses with these light, summer bottles!

90 percent of the wine made in Switzerland is only domestically sold, but we found the best available in the U.S. and asked expert sommelier, Victoria James, to pair Emmi cheeses with them for the ultimate Wine & Cheese Day celebration.

With one taste (and glimpse) of Tête de Moine, you’ll quickly understand why it’s a favorite among chefs and a delicious conversation piece at any gathering. This unique Swiss cheese is traditionally served in the form of elegant flowers shaved off the wheel with a tool called a girolle, or cheese curler. The delicate rosettes are the perfect shape to convey the full-bodied flavor and aroma of the cheese, and make a striking addition to salads, soups, charcuterie boards, and more.
