Who doesn't like the combination of grapes, cheese, and honey? In this recipe we make Thomcord Grape Sorbet, Sheep's milk foam, with Honey!
A fantastic cheese course, using Grape sorbet, sheep's milk cheese foam, and honey! Grapes, cheese, and honey, when you break all down that is what this recipe is all about.
Of course this is a modern take on that basic idea. This is thomcord grape sorbet with sheep's milk foam, honey and grapes. Light, refreshing, and absolutely delicious.
This has the right balance of sour, sweet, and tangy! Chef’s in fine dining restaurants are always trying to find new and exciting ways to serve their cheese courses and this one turned out to be a hit! Cheese and wine (grapes) is a no brainer.
Cheese with honey is also the same. So in concept this recipe is really basic on the flavor profile. The flavor really comes from the sweetness of the thomcord grapes and the coolness of the sorbet, the mild but complex flavor of the sheep’s milk combined with the texture of the foam.
Add a touch of honey for and raw grapes for crunch and just like that you have a unique take on a cheese/pre-dessert course. Here is the recipe, I hope you enjoy it!
