Fine Cheese Co. Wheat Rounds
Classic Crackers for Gourmet Pairings
Fine Cheese Co’s Wheat Rounds are a bit of a staple in our house. They’re simple, made with good ingredients, and have just the right amount of crunch. I’ve yet to find a cheese or spread that doesn’t work with them. You can tell they’re made with care; they always seem to lift a cheeseboard, even if it’s just a Tuesday night one.
Wheat Rounds have a mild yet truly satisfying flavour. Made from whole wheat flour, they deliver nutty undertones, a hint of sweetness, and a beautiful golden hue from baking. They’re neither overly salty nor distracting, allowing any cheese or spread to shine. I appreciate that they can easily support a generous wedge of cheese while maintaining their delicate crunch, especially with creamy pairings.
Cheese Pairing Ideas
Wheat Rounds are those rare crackers that complement nearly any cheese because of their mild, nutty profile and dependable structure. They hold up well even with generous toppings.
- Soft Cheeses – Baron Bigod, Waterloo, or Wigmore pair beautifully with Wheat Rounds. The crackers contribute pleasing crunch and gentle sweetness, perfectly balancing the creamy richness.
- Hard Cheeses – Appleby’s Cheshire, Kaltbach Alpine Creamy or Stärnächäs. The crackers’ nutty flavour complements these robust cheeses, and their crunch enhances the overall texture.
- Blue Cheeses – Barkham Blue, Beauvale, or Bleu d’Auvergne PDO are a total hit with Wheat Rounds. The slight sweetness in the crackers takes the edge off the blue’s saltiness and tang, creating a really nice balance.
Jen’s Note: Wheat Rounds aren’t just for cheese (although they are totally amazing with a spot of blue…!). I also love them with a bit of chorizo or salami, and a dab of fig jam for a little sweetness. A handful of grapes and some apple slices on the side, and you’ve got yourself a top-notch snack.
