What cheese with pears?

[Sharuf]

What cheeses work especially well with pears?

[bigfellow]

Cashel Blue is my choice.

[funklight]

one of the less salty pecorinos would be good. maybe toscano. definitely not romano. something really stinky might also work, like tallegio or cowgirl creamery's red hawk.

for me I like cambozola, I also really enjoy manchego with them.

[kchurchill5]

Blue, bire, gorgonzola and cambozola is good. Never had manchego but sounds good!!

[bayoucook]

Yes! Blue cheese with smoked almonds on the side - heaven!

The classic Milanese combination is pears, walnuts, and gorgonzola.

I add diced celery and a dressing of mayo and 0 fat greek yogurt for my modified Waldorf salad. Super easy and raves from all ranges of palates.

I would prefer a hard cheese- pungent and sharp with a perfect pear.

brie is delicious. my husband loves a sandwich of a fresh baguette with brie, pears, and honey.

[ferret]

Not really many that don't go well (maybe American). Manchego, brie, gouda, the gorgonzola already mentioned. I'd probably steer clear of sweeter cheese -- but even those can be good depending on the cheese.

[kattyeyes]

Blue, blue, blue...or bleu, bleu, bleu.

Yup. Isn't Stilton classic with pears?

[BobB]

Mmm, yes. Stilton is perfect, but other blues work too.

[Mawrter]

Agreed - practically ALL cheese is good with pears! I like all of the above and chevre, too. Asaiago. Cheddar. A sweet cheese could be nice in a desserty thing. Reading this thread is practically making me salivate!
