White Wine Pairings with Alexian’s Pâté

 

Those who love white wines such as Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, or Chardonnay appreciate a good combination, and  the perfect taste they  create with our Alexian pâtés. White wines are a great choice of serving at any time since they usually have lower alcohol levels than red wines. They are better chilled, and when consumed with fish, salads, or light meals with vegetables, this kind of wine  leaves a refreshing feeling. Our suggestion of pairing with Alexian pâté will do the experience  even better.

Riesling wine goes well with Champagne Pâté, Sage & Pork Mousse Pâté, or Chicken Liver Mousse Pâté because of this wine’s flowery and aromatic character. Riesling wine is characterized for its dry, semi-sweet, and sparkling sip, so our pâté’s selection is a great match. 

Try pairing Sauvignon Blanc with Tomato Basil Pâté and Curry and Bell Pepper Pâté. This green-skinned grape variety is the fruity taste you want for a fresh pâté choice. 

Alexian Pâté pairing options for Chardonnay are Sage & Pork Mousse Pâté, or Truffle Mousse Pâté. This green variety of wine is used in the production of white wine, and it is its rich and creamy  flavor that makes it perfect for our  variety of products.

The Duo: Alexian Mousse and Blinis

 

We have the perfect pairing for you to snack on.  Alexian Mousse on blinis are that sudden and delightful bite. In addition to the Alexian products you already know, we want to bring a delicious tip with blinis, which are an Eastern European mini pancake traditionally made from wheat or buckwheat flour, and served with several garnishes. Blini is one of the most-eaten dishes in this side of Europe, and we are introducing to you as the perfect match with our Alexian Mousse. Together they can be served on a variety of occasions since they are  great and tasty appetizers.

 Chicken Liver Mousse on Blinis:

This original duo will not  take more than a few minutes to prepare. Simply spread a generous portion of Alexian’s Chicken Liver Mousse over some blinis,  and top with strawberry or grape jam.

The Chicken Liver Mousse’s savory flavor is  perfect for  the sweetness of the jam. You may also slice some pickled grapes in half, and place on the pâté as a topping. 

Truffle Mousse on Blinis:

For this flavorsome combination, you need cherry tomatoes cut in half.  Spread Alexian’s Truffle Mousse on the blinis,  and top with cherry tomatoes for a sensational degustation. The rich Truffle Mousse flavor is much for  each bite.

Duck Liver and Pork Mousse with Cognac 

Boasting a sophisticated flavor profile, Alexian award-winning pâté  is the fresh, natural and definitively delicious option for a pairing. For this match we spread Duck Liver and Pork Mousse with Cognac on the blinis, and we enhance the plate with pear slices and celery sticks. 

Enjoy with a glass of wine!

Refreshing fruits pairing

 

Refreshing summer fruits are ideal companions to pâté; they make great appetizers for summer dinners, brunches, and cookouts.

To begin, choose three or four Alexian pâtés. A smooth and creamy pâtésuch as our Chicken Liver Mousse; a country-style pâté such as our Campagne Pâté; and a vegetarian choice such as our Tomato Basil all go well together.

After you have selected your pâtés, pick up some green onions, olives, and cornichons to add to the tray. Sliced nectarines or peaches make a delicious pairing with pâtéin the summer and are a terrific way to combine sweet and savory flavors. 

Another refreshing fruit pairing is sliced strawberries, raspberries, or red currants with chicken liver mousse, or pineapple diced with Pâté de Campagne. 

To complement your meal, incorporate some sliced pita, ciabatta, or baguette along with hot mustard and celery sticks for an unforgettable meal.

Place everything on plain white serving ware to highlight the brilliant hues. Enjoy!

Happy National Chicken Month

Chicken Ballotine

Chicken Liver Mousse

A rich yet delicate treat, Chicken Liver Mousse pâté is a pantry essential that offers a sweet, nutty flavor.
