FOOD PAIRING
Charcuterie and hard cheese is the perfect match for this clear simple aquavit. The O.P. Anderson Björk Aquavit is a bit lighter in flavour compared to the rest of the family making it the perfect match for inviting the Swedish subois to the table & really get that foresty birch feel.CharcuterieAny dried aged and salty meat works like a charm here. Stay away from overly fatty alternatives. If you ever had a cut that you might have found too salty, pop a bottle of O.P. Björk and try again..Hard CheeseParmesan, Gruyere or why not even a Comté? Delicate but powerful cheeses that can be easily ran over by both an acidic red wine or even by a light and crispy white wine. The combination of birch & lemon lifts a lighter side of the cheese - whereas the juniper and caraway takes care of the more fatty parts.
