Karoun Mediterranean Cheeses & Summer Wines a Delicious Pairing

TURLOCK, Calif., Aug. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Summertime was meant for good food, good friends and good wines while dining al fresco to take advantage of the cooler evenings and lingering sun. While cheese and wine pairings are not a new concept, wine and Mediterranean cheese pairings can be just as fun and sometimes more interesting. Karoun Dairies authentic handmade Mediterranean cheeses are made for chilled white wines and good friends.

All of Karoun Dairies cheeses are natural and handmade at their state-of-the-art California facility, strictly using only milk from cows that are free from growth hormones, BGH/rBST, and are Real California Milk certified.

Many of the same general wine and cheese rules apply when pairing Mediterranean and ethnic cheeses with wines; you never want the wine to overpower the food, but rather to complement the flavors. For a perfect summer night with friends and family try Karoun's Yanni Grilling Cheese right off the grill, with its buttery texture, pared with a chilled California Chardonnay, or the award-winning Karoun Basket Fetas with a smooth Sauvignon Blanc and Kalamata Olives.

Karoun Dairies recently presented their award-winning cheeses at the California Grape and Gourmet Tasting in Sacramento, California which recognized award-winning California cheeses and wines as part of the California State Fair. With more than 90 awards for their handmade and natural cheeses, pairing Karoun Mediterranean cheeses and classic wines should be cool as a summer breeze.

"For centuries wines and cheeses have shared the table with family and friends in celebration. We are proud to offer handmade Karoun products at your table and for your celebration," said Rostom Baghdassarian, Karoun COO.
