The Fine Cheese Co. Pickled Walnuts

A British classic — deep, savoury, and made to complement cheese

These Pickled Walnuts from The Fine Cheese Co. are one of the most traditional cheese accompaniments in Britain. Carefully harvested young and pickled before the shell forms, they develop a soft, tender texture and a rich, savoury depth with subtle spice. Their mellow, earthy character pairs beautifully with strong artisan cheeses, especially blues and mature cheddars.

These walnuts offer more than just acidity; they bring warmth and umami richness that elevates a board from simple to memorable. Slice them thinly or serve whole — they deliver that “Masterchef moment” without effort.

Tasting Notes:

• Soft, tender texture

• Earthy, savoury depth

• Balanced acidity with gentle spice

• A sophisticated, grown-up flavour

Pairing Suggestions:

• Blue cheeses: Binham Blue, Stilton, Jiffler Blue

• Hard cheeses: Norfolk Dapple, Wells Alpine

• Cold cuts and pork pies

• Rich pâtés and country terrines

Pickled walnuts are a cheesemonger’s secret weapon — they make the good even better.
