Blue Cheese and Fig Tart

Indulge in a sophisticated blend of flavors with our Blue Cheese and Fig Tart, a delightful fusion of creamy, savory blue cheese and the natural sweetness of figs, all encased in a flaky, golden crust. This tart is a celebration of contrasting tastes and textures, with the bold, tangy notes of blue cheese harmonizing beautifully with the rich, honeyed figs. Perfect as an appetizer or a decadent centerpiece for your gathering, it’s a dish that embodies culinary elegance.

To elevate this exquisite tart, we suggest pairing it with the GEN 7 2019 Rosé of Syrah. This Rosé offers vibrant notes of ripe strawberries and raspberries, with a hint of spice and a crisp, refreshing finish. The wine’s bright acidity and delicate fruitiness perfectly balance the tart's rich and creamy blue cheese, while enhancing the sweetness of the figs. Whether you're hosting a sophisticated dinner or enjoying a quiet evening at home, this pairing promises to transform any occasion into a memorable experience.
