A World of Cheese at Your Fingertips
At Acquistapace’s, we offer an unparalleled variety of cheeses from every corner of the globe. Each cheese is carefully selected by our team, ensuring that every option in our store meets the highest standards of quality and flavor.
European Classics
For fans of traditional European cheeses, Acquistapace’s selection is unmatched. We feature French classics like Brie and Roquefort, Italian Parmigiano-Reggiano, Spanish Manchego, and rich Dutch Goudas. Each of these cheeses brings its own unique flavor profile, perfect for any occasion or palate. Whether you’re planning a sophisticated dinner or a casual gathering, these European classics will elevate your cheese board.
Local Artisanal Cheeses
While we offer an impressive selection of international cheeses, we also take pride in supporting local cheesemakers. Our shelves are stocked with artisanal cheeses made by small dairies right here in Louisiana. These local selections offer fresh, vibrant flavors and reflect the unique character of our region. By choosing these local cheeses, you’re supporting local agriculture and enjoying some of the freshest cheeses available.
Specialty and Rare Finds
Looking to discover something new? Our stores are also filled with specialty cheeses that are difficult to find elsewhere. From tangy goat cheeses to robust blues and well-aged Goudas, we offer a variety of unique and hard-to-find options. Whether you’re searching for the perfect cheese for a recipe or want to wow your guests with something unexpected, our rare finds will not disappoint.
Building the Perfect Cheese Board
A well-rounded cheese board can be the highlight of any event, and Acquistapace’s is here to help you create a spread that’s as beautiful as it is delicious.
Balancing Flavors and Textures
The key to a great cheese board is variety. We recommend selecting cheeses with a range of textures and flavors to ensure that every bite offers something different. Start with a soft, creamy option like Brie or Camembert, then add a semi-soft cheese such as Gouda or Havarti. Finish with a firm, bold option like aged Cheddar or Parmigiano-Reggiano for balance.
Pairing with Accompaniments
To enhance the flavors of your cheese board, consider pairing cheeses with the right accompaniments. Sweet additions like honey, fig jam, or fresh fruits like apples and grapes complement salty and tangy cheeses. Nuts, crackers, and charcuterie meats also add depth and variety to your board, ensuring every bite is a new experience.
Wine Pairings
No cheese board is complete without the perfect wine pairing. Acquistapace’s has one of the largest selections of domestic and international wines that are sure to complement the cheeses we offer. Whether you prefer a crisp white wine or a bold red, we can help you find the perfect bottle to enjoy alongside your cheese selection. Ask our team for suggestions, and we’ll guide you to the ideal match for your gathering.
