Spooky Movies and the Cheese to eat with them
You know us, we love pairing cheese with anything, and for this Halloween season, we decided to pair cheese with movies! Who doesn’t love a slightly spooky movie and a good cheese plate?
So if you have found yourself with zero Halloween plans this year, swing by the shop and grab the cheese that pairs best with the movie you want to revisit the most.
Practical Magic - Brie with Lavender Honey
For the romantic, herbal witchiness of the Owens sisters, you need something soft, sophisticated, and a little enchanted. Creamy brie drizzled with lavender honey captures the midnight margarita and garden-magic energy.
Hocus Pocus - Smoked Gouda
The smoky, cauldron-bubbling vibes of the Sanderson sisters call for something with a bit of mystical depth. Smoked Gouda has that bewitching sweetness with a hauntingly rich finish - perfect for a campy, magical romp.
The Lost Boys - Sharp Aged Cheddar
This vampire classic is all attitude and bite..and come on, that soundtrack! A properly sharp (get it, sharp teeth?), crumbly aged cheddar (the kind that makes you wince a little) matches the edgy, rebellious spirit of those boardwalk bloodsuckers perfectly.
What We Do in the Shadows - Stichelton
For this mockumentary masterpiece, you need a cheese as pretentious and particular as our favorite immortal housemates (am I the only one with a Taika Waititi crush?). Stichelton is the blue cheese of the aristocracy - pungent, bold, and absolutely ridiculous if you think about it too hard. Plus, it pairs well with centuries-old grudges.
Shaun of the Dead - Red Leicester
Nothing says "quintessentially British pub culture meets zombie apocalypse" like a proper Red Leicester. It's unpretentious, reliable, and exactly what you'd grab from the corner shop before the undead show up. Bonus: it's the color of Winchester Tavern lighting.
We hope you have fun with these pairings!
