One cheese on the loop, with something to drink beside it, something for the driver, and the road either side.

Drink
A light unoaked white, or a dry roseFresh cheese is delicate and lactic; the drink should refresh, not compete.

Still water with lemon, or a light herbal teaFresh cheese is best with something that gets out of the way.
Eat with
Good bread, olive oil and a ripe tomatoFresh cheese is delicate. Anything assertive beside it simply wins.

Derived from the milk and the style of the cheese, not from local custom. A local will have opinions.
