Add Some Pizzazz to your Mac & Cheese

In honour of National Mac & Cheese Day, we at The Cheese Wedge are excited to share our favourite cheeses to take your macaroni and cheese to the next level. Whether you're a traditionalist or an adventurous foodie, the right cheese can transform your dish into a gourmet delight.

Gruyère: Known for its nutty and slightly sweet flavour, Gruyère melts beautifully and adds a creamy texture.

Fontina: This cheese melts smoothly and brings a mild, buttery flavour to your mac and cheese.

Gouda: Both regular and smoked Gouda offer a rich, slightly sweet flavour. Smoked Gouda can add a delightful smoky depth.

Cheddar: A classic choice, aged cheddar provides a sharp, tangy flavour that forms the backbone of many mac and cheese recipes.

Parmesan: Sprinkle some Parmesan for a salty, umami kick that pairs well with other cheeses.

Brie: For a luxurious touch, add some Brie. Its creamy texture will elevate the dish.

Blue Cheese: Use sparingly for a bold, tangy flavour that stands out without overpowering.

Pecorino Romano: This sharp, salty cheese enhances the overall flavour with its distinctive taste.

Havarti: Melts smoothly and has a buttery, slightly tangy flavour, making it a great addition.

Taleggio: Adds a strong, tangy flavour with a creamy texture.

Asiago: Its nutty, slightly tangy flavour pairs well with other cheeses.

Mascarpone: This creamy, rich cheese with a mild flavour adds a luscious texture to your mac and cheese.

For a perfectly balanced and flavourful mac and cheese, try combining a few of these cheeses. A great mix could be sharp cheddar for tang, Gruyère for nuttiness, and Fontina for creaminess. Adding a touch of Parmesan or Pecorino Romano will enhance the overall flavour profile.
