Serves 4

Ingredients

8 ounces, cut into thin slices or small cubes
Walnuts
1/2 cup, chopped
Honey
1/4 cup
Fresh thyme or rosemary (optional)
1 teaspoon, for garnish

  2. Arrange the cheese artfully on a serving plate, creating an inviting presentation.
  3. In a small saucepan, gently warm the honey over low heat until it becomes slightly runny. This step enhances the honey's flavor and makes it easier to drizzle.

  6. For an aromatic finish, garnish with fresh thyme or rosemary if desired.

Tips

  • 💡 For an added twist, consider using flavored honey, such as lavender or orange blossom.
  • 💡 Pair this dish with a light white wine or a sparkling prosecco to complement the flavors of the cheese and honey.
  • 💡 Feel free to substitute Castelmagno with another semi-hard cheese, such as Gorgonzola or Gruyère, for different flavor profiles.
