Cheese & Seasonal Produce: Perfect Spring Pairings

No complicated recipes, just simple, delicious combinations that make you look like a food genius.

Spring is here, and that means one thing: fresh, vibrant flavors are back in season! Whether you're building a snack board, upgrading your picnic spread, or just looking for an easy way to impress your dinner guests, pairing seasonal produce with the right cheese is the ultimate foodie flex. Here’s how to make the most of spring’s best ingredients with cheese pairings that hit just right.

Strawberries & Burrata

Sweet, juicy strawberries meet ultra-creamy burrata in a pairing that screams “sunshine on a plate.” Drizzle with balsamic glaze, add fresh basil, and boom—instant elegance. Perfect for brunch, an appetizer board, or a casual “I just threw this together” moment (even if you definitely planned it).

Peas & Pecorino

Fresh peas, whether smashed on toast or tossed in pasta, get a salty, nutty kick from pecorino cheese. It’s the balance of creamy and sharp that makes this combo work. Add a squeeze of lemon, a drizzle of olive oil, and suddenly, you're a springtime pasta pro.

Asparagus & Parmesan

Grilled, roasted, or shaved raw, asparagus comes alive when paired with Parmesan’s bold, umami-packed bite. Sprinkle Parm over warm asparagus, or take it next level with a poached egg on top—because let’s be honest, everything is better with a runny yolk.

Cherries & Ricotta

Spring cherries bring a juicy tartness that pairs beautifully with ricotta’s mild, creamy texture. Spoon fresh ricotta onto crostini, top with halved cherries, and finish with a drizzle of honey for an effortless appetizer that looks fancy but takes five minutes.

Radishes & Goat Cheese

Radishes are crisp, peppery, and totally underrated—until you pair them with tangy, creamy goat cheese. Spread some chèvre on a slice of toasted sourdough, layer on thin radish slices, sprinkle with flaky salt, and prepare for your new obsession.

Apricots & Blue Cheese

If you’re into sweet-savory combos, this one’s for you. Apricots—whether fresh or dried—balance out the rich, funky notes of blue cheese. Serve with toasted walnuts and a drizzle of honey for an appetizer that’ll make you rethink everything you thought you knew about cheese boards.

Spring is all about fresh flavors, easy elegance, and showing off nature’s best. These cheese and produce pairings do just that—no complicated recipes, just simple, delicious combinations that make you look like a food genius.
