Matzo is one of the key symbolic foods of the Passover holiday -- a holiday in which Jews do not eat bread or anything with leavening in commemoration of the freeing of the Jews from ancient Egypt. So if you are planning on eating matzo for the next eight days or just for tonight, I thought you might want a suggestion of a cheese that could work excellently with the crispy crunchy Matzo...Yes they could be construed as kind of a blank canvas but I like to think that something spreadable would be ideal here, something lactic, young and milky might be nice. How about a nice Dill Ronnybrook Farmer's cheese? Infused with the bitter herbs that are essential to the Seder plate symbolizing the bitterness and harshness that the Jews experienced while being enslaved in Egypt. You can spread the farmer's cheese over a piece of matzo and top with a few pieces of parsley and sprinkle a little bit of sel de la guerande over the top. A nice savory, green, and fresh way to enjoy the matzo.
Yes you could feel free to place other types of cheese on the matzo but I like the youth and vibrancy of a fresh cheese here.
Happy Passover.
