Let’s look at different elements to show how you can make your biltong platter the star of your next office event.
Cheese: Biltong's Tasty Buddy
Cheese and biltong are like best friends. The softness of cheese goes is a great match with delicious biltong. I remember at one office party, we had a big variety of cheeses – sharp cheddar, creamy brie, and even some spicy gouda. Everyone loved mixing and matching the different cheeses with the biltong. It was a fun way to discover new favorite combos.
5 Cheeses that pair well with biltong
- Matured Cheddar: Strong and sharp, aged cheddar complements the rich, meaty flavour of biltong, providing a robust taste experience.
- Gouda: Mild and slightly sweet, Gouda balances the savoury intensity of biltong, offering a harmonious blend of flavours.
- Brie: Creamy and buttery, Brie adds a smooth texture contrast to the chewy biltong, enhancing its overall richness.
- Blue Cheese: Bold and tangy, blue cheese pairs uniquely with biltong, creating a complex flavour profile for adventurous palates.
- Swiss Cheese (Emmenthaler): Nutty and slightly sweet, Swiss cheese’s distinct taste pairs well with biltong, adding a different dimension to the platter.
Fruits: A Sweet Twist
Adding fruits like grapes, apples, or figs to your biltong platter adds a lovely sweetness. It’s so good with the salty taste of biltong. The fruits also make the platter look colorful and tempting. At a recent board meeting, we added thin slices of apple and the crunch with the biltong was a hit! It’s amazing how a simple fruit can make the biltong taste even better.
Nuts and Dried Fruit: A Crunchy Delight
Throwing in nuts and dried fruits like apricots or cranberries makes the platter more fun to eat. They add a nice crunchy and chewy texture. A while ago, a Sandton-based client asked us to add some dried mango to their platter. The sweet and tangy mango with the savoury biltong was a real crowd-pleaser. Next level!
Breads and Crackers: For Fun Mini Sandwiches
Breads and crackers are great for layering. You can put a piece of cheese and some biltong on top to make tasty mini sandwiches. This is super fun and delicious. We did this at a team-building day. Everyone loved making their own little biltong sandwiches. It was a great way to get creative and enjoy the food.
Pickles and Preserves: Tangy and Sweet
Adding pickles like gherkins, olives, or pickled onions brings a zingy, tangy taste to your platter. This taste is a great match with the rich flavours of biltong and cheese. And don’t forget a little bit of sweet chutney or honey! This adds a lovely sweetness that goes so well with the biltong. It’s amazing how a little bit of sweetness can make the flavours pop.
Fresh Veggies: Bright and Fresh
Colorful veggies like cherry tomatoes, cucumber, or bell peppers make your platter look super cheerful and inviting. They also add a fresh, crunchy taste that’s perfect with the biltong and cheese. It’s like a little burst of freshness in every bite.
