With their delightfully crunchy texture, Peter's Yard sourdough crackers go very well with cheese. The crackers come in a lovely range of flavours, so you have fun experimenting with matching them to different cheeses. The rosemary and sea salt sourdough crackers have a lovely aromatic flavour from the herb. They work very well with the light, bright lemony-ness of a fresh goat’s cheese. For further suggestions, have a look at the cheese pairing wheel on the Peter’s Yard website https://www.petersyard.com/cheese-pairing-wheel/
