Why Coffee and Cheese Combine Really Well?

Coffee and cheese might sound unfamiliar to you, but we prove this combination is a good one through our new Soft Fromage collaboration with Nespresso, Crema Fromaggio. This unexpected pairing brings out the best of both worlds: the bold yet aromatic notes of coffee highlight the creamy richness of cheese. In this article, we’ll explore why coffee and cheese work so well together!

1. Flavor Contrast = Balance
   Crema Fromaggio is finished with a pour-over of freshly brewed Nespresso coffee that is bold, bitter, and complex. While our Soft Fromage is inspired by our signature Japanese cheesecake that brings out a cheesy flavor in every spoonful. When combined, the bitterness of coffee cuts through the richness of cheese, while the cheese smooths out coffee’s intensity, creating a beautifully balanced bite!
2. Surprising Yet Familiar
   Many global traditions already blend dairy with coffee, like café au lait, cappuccino, or cheese foam tea. The layer combinations of Crema Fromaggio bring a fresh twist to that idea by pairing cheesy soft serve with espresso. It feels new, yet comforting. It surprises your taste buds while still tapping into something universally loved!
3. Engages More of the Senses
   Beyond taste and texture, coffee and cheese together engage aroma, temperature, visual appeal, and even sound (from steaming and pouring). The comforting scent of freshly brewed coffee, the creaminess of cheese, and the visual contrast of dark espresso against bright cheese create a multi-sensory experience.
