Wrap Up Warm With Silly Cow This Winter!
After this week's temperature drop, Silly Cow think it is safe to say that the UK chill has officially arrived, and with it comes that irresistible urge to cozy up with good food, good company… and great cheese.
At Silly Cow, we believe winter is the perfect excuse to go all-in on rich flavours, warm pairings and cheese boards that bring people together.
Whether you're hosting some early festive parties, settling in for a movie marathon, or hiding from the cold with a cheeky snack, we've rounded up the ultimate winter cheese pairings to keep things deliciously cozy as we head into the festive season.
1. Fireside Favourite
Smokey Cheddar + Chilli Biscuits + Scotch Bonnet Chilli Jam + Dates
Our Smokey Cheddar brings deep, mellow warmth, elevated by the spicy sweetness of our Scotch Bonnet Chilli Jam, and the following crunch of our Chilli Biscuits. Then to top it all off, a slice of a winter favourite, a date. Warm, inviting, and delicious.
2. A Luxe Night-In
Truffle Cheddar + Classic Biscuits + Caramelised Onion Chutney + Figs
Our Truffle Cheddar is the star of the show- rich, aromatic and indulgent. Paired with our Classic Biscuits you'll get the perfect buttery crunch. Add a dollop of our Caramelised Onion Chutney for a sweet hint, and finish with ripe figs for a touch of winter luxury. (ps. This pairing is bound to impress the office Christmas do')
3. Snow Day Special
Vintage Cheddar + Butter Biscuits + Ale Chutney + Walnuts
If our Silly Cow Vintage Cheddar had a season, it would be winter. Bold, mature and full of character, this cheese pairs perfectly with the crumbly richness of our Butter Biscuits. A spoonful of our Ale Chutney adds a malty sweetness to your stack, while the nutty crunch of winter walnuts brings an earthy touch. It’s the kind of combo you want waiting for you after a long, frosty walk.
4. Midnight Stack
Caramelised Onion Cheddar + Classic Biscuits + Sun-Dried Tomato & Garlic Chutney + Spiced Apple
This one sounds like a lot, but trust us, this pairing is full of perfect married flavours. It is sweet, savoury and full of winter comfort. Our Caramelised Onion Cheddar is mellow and moreish, and when layered on our Classic Biscuits, it creates the perfect base. Add a spoonful of our Sun-Dried Tomato & Garlic Chutney for a burst of rich, savoury warmth. Then, top it off with spiced apple slices for the ultimate festive twist. Cozy, colourful and packed with flavour.
5. The Winter Heatwave
Hot Mexican Cheddar + Salt & Pepper Oatcakes + Scotch Bonnet Chilli Jam + Orange Slices
Who says winter can't bring a little heat? Our Hot Mexican Cheddar delivers a fiery kick thanks to it's jalapenos and chipotle chilli's embedded inside. Layered on a bed of our Salt & Pepper Oatcakes, it adds a savoury crunch, and the Scotch Bonnet Chilli Jam brings back a sweet, addictive warmth. Finish it off with some juicy orange slices for a bright, Christmassy lift, guaranteed to defrost any cold evening.
6. The Christmas Market Snack
Double Gloucester Chives & Onion + Sesame Biscuits + Farmers Relish Chutney + Pear Slices
Silly Cow's Double Gloucester Chives & Onion has a comforting sharpness that pairs beautifully with the gentle nuttiness of our Sesame Biscuits. Our Farmers Relish adds a tang of garden veggies, and thin slices of pear bring the extra fresh, Christmassy flavour you'd expect from a winter market stall.
Stay Cozy, Stay Cheesy
Winter is the season for slowing down, snacking well, and savouring good company. At Silly Cow, we're here to make sure your cheese board steals the show every time.
But, if these pairings look too good to pick one or two, why not opt for our Silly Cow Full MOOn Classic Selection Wheel?
Because why have one frosty bite when you can have them all!
Our Full MOOn Classic Wheel gives you eight deliciously perfect cheeses in one- a platter ready to wow. Pair it with a couple of our biscuits and chutneys that caught your eye, scatter around some of those festive add-ons like figs, dates, apples and walnuts, and you've got a board that looks as good as it tastes.
Finishing Touches: Decorate with rosemary twigs, clusters of cranberries and holly leaves for an extra festive touch.
Stay warm, stay silly,
