Our Pairings

We've teamed up with the Fromagiers at Old City Cheese & Market here in Nanaimo to bring you unique cheese and chocolate pairings! They can be found at either location (Kinsu/Old City) and are sold in two sets, Pairings 1-3 and Pairings 4-6! Indulge and Enjoy!

Pairing 1

Apple Pie & PEI 3-Year Aged Cheddar

Why it works: The creamy chocolate mirrors pie crust, while the cheddar balances the fruit and caramel notes with a sharp tangy bite.

Pairing 2

Blackberry Port & English Stilton

Why it works: Sweet port and berries contrast Stilton's earthy, nutty notes and salty finish for a harmonious pairing.

Pairing 3

Crème Brûlée & French Brie

Why it works: The custard-like chocolate mirrors the brie's luxurious texture, enhancing subtle sweetness for an indulgent finish.

Pairing 4

Peanut Butter Pretzel & French Petit Basque

Why it works: Smooth, nutty cheese contrasts the rich peanut butter's crunch, creating a balanced and indulgent bite from start to finish.

Pairing 5

Raspberry & Quebec Palliot de Chèvre

Why it works: Tangy cheese amplifies the bright, fruity raspberry notes in the chocolate, enhancing both sweetness and acidity.

Pairing 6

Rosemead & Dutch Delft Blue

Why it works: Nutty cheese enhances caramel flavours, while floral notes in the chocolate complement the delicate rose infusion.
