What are cheese butterflies

Cheese butterflies are made of light puff pastry with melted Gouda cheese. Baking them crisps them up and gives them a full, savory flavor with a slight sweetness from the dough. The result is a snack that complements both savory and refreshing flavors.

Taste and character

The crispy dough contrasts beautifully with the salty and creamy notes of the cheese. Cheese butterflies are rich, yet not heavy. This makes them versatile: they can be served with a snack platter, alongside a glass of wine, or simply enjoyed on their own.

Cheese butterflies and wine

At Grand Cru Wines, you'll find a wide selection of wines that pair perfectly with cheese butterflies. The fat and saltiness of the cheese call for wines that bring freshness and fruit, or wines with a soft, rounded character.

• Sauvignon Blanc : fresh and lively, with citrus and spice. Ideal for balancing the creaminess of the cheese.
• Riesling : dry or with a slight sweetness. The high acidity lightens the snack and provides a nice refreshing contrast.
• Chardonnay : un-oaked for freshness, or with light oak aging for extra roundness and depth to the cheese.
• Pinot Noir : a red wine with soft tannins and red fruit notes that beautifully complement the heartiness of the cheese.
• Red blends from Spain or Italy : smooth and not too powerful, so as not to overpower the puff pastry.

Non-alcoholic alternatives

Fruit juices are also a great choice for cheese butterflies. Think apple or pear juice for a refreshing contrast, grape juice for a fruity note, or sparkling water with lemon for a refreshing touch.
