Preparation

Fans of salty twisted cheese snacks, feta, or grillable varieties will definitely enjoy Cotija, a Mexican brined curd cheese. In this case, look for freshness to soften the saltiness, or a touch of sweetness to balance it out. A blonde or wheat beer, or a still or sparkling white wine from the “Fruity and vibrant” taste tag will do the job beautifully. Its pairing with a sparkling cider that has a charming hint of sweetness, such as the one from Domaine Lafrance, is particularly successful.

Other possible pairings: Fruity and vibrant wine, Fruity and sweet wine, lager beer.
