super curious to hear if you have a patrequet (ricardo patrese and nelson piquet) pairing! <3
riccardo patrese as pickled pimentos & nelson piquet as gorgonzola piccante
notes:
pickled pimentos are sweet, vinegary, and a little spicy. they are often a filling for olives or other cheese spreads, rarely eaten on their own
gorgonzola is a controversial cheese, often included on "least favorite" lists, with a funky flavor and odd soft-crumbly texture. piccante is the stronger-tasing variety, a little less known than gorgonzola dolce
pimentos are often the garnish for cheese plates and dishes involving gorgonzola and other strong cheeses
serving:
enjoy with green olives and toasted peasant bread
make a sandwich on a whole wheat baguette with frisée lettuce and roasted eggplant
pair with a glass of sauternes to bring out the sweetness of the pimentos and complement the salty flavor of the gorgonzola
