Honey & Cheese Grazing
The Ultimate Honey & Cheese Grazing Board Guide – Pairings from the Hive to Your Table
There’s something magical about combining raw, natural honey with artisan cheese — a harmony of sweet, salty, creamy, and tangy all on one grazing board. At South West Honey, we believe the best flavour pairings start with nature, which is why our raw honeys are the perfect complement to your next platter.
From the deep forests of Western Australia to your table, here’s how to impress guests (or treat yourself) with our Honey & Cheese pairing guide:
JARRAH HONEY + BLUE CHEESE
Bold meets bold. Jarrah’s rich, earthy sweetness softens the sharp notes of blue cheese, creating a smooth, sophisticated flavour combination. Add walnuts and figs for extra flair.
REDGUM HONEY + HARD CHEESES
Redgum honey’s deep intensity pairs perfectly with nutty, salty cheeses like aged Gouda or Parmesan. The tannins in red wine also balance beautifully with this combo.
COASTAL HONEY + SOFT CHEESES
Coastal honey’s mild citrus edge enhances the creamy, buttery notes of Brie or Camembert. Serve with fresh strawberries or grapes for a pop of colour and freshness.
KARRI OR CREAMED HONEY + CHEDDAR
Karri’s smooth texture and gentle sweetness balances the sharpness of aged cheddar. A slice of apple or pear on the side rounds out the flavours.
HONEYCOMB – THE STAR OF THE SHOW
Our raw honeycomb is nature’s candy and the centrepiece of any grazing board. Its texture, visual appeal, and pure flavour elevate every bite. Serve alongside fresh bread, dried fruit, or your favourite cheese.
