Frequently Asked Questions
What cheeses pair best with fig balsamic drizzle?
Soft, creamy cheeses like brie and goat cheese pair especially well, since the fig balsamic's sweetness contrasts with their richness. Aged cheddar and Parmesan also work for a sharper contrast.
Can this drizzle be made ahead for a party?
Yes. Mix it up to 2 days in advance and store covered in the refrigerator. Bring it to room temperature and give it a stir before drizzling.
Can this drizzle be made without honey for a vegan cheese board?
Yes. Omit the honey, or substitute maple syrup, and pair it with a plant-based cheese to keep the whole board vegan.
