Nevertheless, we still have 6 incredibly useful tips on bread and cheese pairings if you want absolute certainty.

Farmhouse Bread Works With All Cheeses

Farmhouse bread (aka pain de campagne) goes well with ALL cheeses ranging from the mild and softest to the intense and flavorful.

Traditional Baguette and Soft Rinds

Baguette is extremely delicious with soft rinds such as Brie, Camembert and even Chèvre.

There is something magical about the creamy softness of the cheese and the crusty bread. The contrasts work perfectly well together.

Bonus tip: Try wholegrain baguette
It will bring even more flavor.

European Rye Bread and Blues

European Rye bread (aka pain de seigle) is surprisingly delicious with blue cheeses such as Roquefort and Gorgonzola.

The dense and mild sour rye is the perfect complement to blues’ tangy aromas.
