CUMIN
Cumin is a very herbal cheese with a distinct spice; yet, sweet undertones.
Choose a richer style Carneros Chardonnay or Paso Robles Viognier when considering a white. If the cheese finds it way onto a burger, turn to a medium bodied red such as a Monterey Pinot Noir or Sonoma Grenache.

GARLIC HERB
Garlic herb offers a sharper flavor with a rich garlic profile. This cheese goes perfect in an omelet or quiche, or grated over french bread as a garlic butter spread.
