How do they enhance the flavor?

 Contrast of flavors: sweet vs. savory Salty or intense cheeses (like blue, aged manchego) find their balance when paired with the sweetness of honey or jams. The contrast makes both flavors more pronounced and noticeable. Complementary textures A creamy cheese such as a Calaveruela sheep cheese, with a teaspoon of jam, provides a smooth-crunchy or creamy-fruity contrast that makes the experience more interesting. Fruity touches that balance the fat Fruit jams (raspberry, fig, orange, mixed berries) cut through the richness of fatty cheeses, like manchegos, refreshing the palate and preventing it from feeling cloying. Honey brings out hidden flavors Honey, especially floral, thyme, or eucalyptus varieties, can accentuate notes in the cheese that sometimes go unnoticed, such as nutty, buttery, or even dried-fruit flavors.   [caption id="attachment_32880" align="aligncenter" width="800"]Discover how Honey and Jams enhance the flavor of your favorite cheeses Discover how Honey and Jams enhance the flavor of your favorite cheeses[/caption]
