Peter’s Yard Cracker Complements Cheeses

Selecting the accompaniments for an array of cheese is an important as the cheese selection itself. Crackers should complement a cheese, and not overpower; the perfect savory cracker needs to enhance the eating experience. British artisan bakery, Peter’s Yard, is encouraging specialty retailers to try its award-winning sourdough crispbread, especially Pink Peppercorn, which was named the best new cracker at the 2017 sofi Awards.
Peter’s Yard’s crispbreads are inspired by the bakers’ love of Swedish baking, made to an authentic traditional recipe, using all-natural ingredients that include organic whole-wheat flour, fresh milk, honey and a natural sourdough derived from a 40-year-old starter that is allowed to ferment and bubble for 16 hours before being used. Each batch of dough is rolled in rye flour, cut to shape and baked until golden, taking care to preserve the characteristic bubbles and curves that come from using a natural sourdough starter. The result is a light, crisp texture that makes the crispbread the perfect host for cheese.
The Peter’s Yard crispbreads are authentic and made just as they would have been centuries ago in Sweden. Some crispbreads have a characteristic hole in the centre, reminiscent of traditional life in Sweden. In years gone by, it was customary that large discs of crispbread were baked during the harvest and left to preserve over the long Swedish winters. The discs were made with a central hole so that they could be left on a wooden pole, often above the fireplace.
The crispbreads are naturally high in fiber, free from anything artificial and also low in sugar and calories. The Peter’s Yard range includes a variety of crispbread and pack sizes, so there is a crispbread to suit every eating occasion from a small ‘mini’ crispbread which is ideal for canapés, through to a larger ‘single serving size’ crispbread to enjoy with cheese. The combination of the crispbread’s light, crisp texture and simple, high-quality ingredients make them the perfect partner for any topping but in particular when served with cheese.
The sofi Award-winning Pink Peppercorn crispbread has a delicate peppery touch. It perfectly partners a wide selection of cheese from mild creamy goat milk to a robust vintage English Cheddar. The Peter’s Yard range is currently available through World’s Best Cheese and Tony’s Fine Foods.
