Creamy cheeses
Creamy cheeses like Brie, Camembert, Brillat-Savarin, and triple creams benefit from beverages that cut through their richness with effervescence or acidity while complementing their buttery, mild flavors. Sparkling wines and bright whites provide palate-cleansing contrast, while Belgian ales and wheat beers offer carbonation and subtle fruit notes that enhance the cheese's creaminess without overwhelming it.
