Spice Up Your Cheese Board: Best Chutneys for Cheese Lovers in the UK
If there’s one thing we love almost as much as chutney, it’s cheese. And when you pair the two? Magic happens. Whether you're assembling a casual Friday-night snack board or hosting a full-blown dinner party, the right chutney can turn a good cheese board into a glorious one.
So, if you’ve been wondering 'what chutney goes best with cheese?' — pull up a cracker, you’re in the right place.
Why Chutney + Cheese Works So Well
Chutney brings balance. Where cheese gives richness, chutney adds zing. It’s that sweet-sour-spicy kick that wakes everything up and keeps people coming back for “just one more bite” (we’ve all been there).
1. Apple Chutney – for Cheddar, Brie & Pork Pies
Our Apple Original Chutney is warm, mellow, and full of comforting spice. It’s a natural match for mature cheddar, creamy Brie, or a good old pork pie.
2. Date & Tamarind Chutney – for Blue Cheese, Stilton & Goat’s Cheese
Our Date and Tamarind Chutney is sticky, rich and full of that tangy-sweet flavour bomb you’d find in a street food chaat stall. Pair it with bold cheeses like Stilton, Roquefort, or goat’s cheese and suddenly, your cheeseboard feels gourmet.
3. Tomato & Pineapple Chutney – for Mozzarella, Halloumi & Mild Cheeses
Our Tomato & Pineapple Chutney brings sweetness and brightness to any cheese board. We love it with mozzarella, halloumi, or a creamy Wensleydale.
4. Chilli Chutney – for Hard Cheeses & Hot Food Fans
If you're someone who likes a bit of heat with your cheese, our Chilli Chutney is your new best mate. It’s fiery, slightly sweet, and absolutely packed with bold personality.
5. Mint Chutney – for Creamy Soft Cheeses or Indian Platters
Our Limited Edition Mint Chutney isn’t just for samosas — it’s surprisingly brilliant with soft, spreadable cheeses. That fresh herbaceous kick cuts through the creaminess like a dream.

Final Tips for the Ultimate Chutney + Cheese Board
- Mix textures: soft Brie, crumbly Stilton, firm cheddar
- Add fresh fruit: grapes, figs, sliced apple
- Layer your chutneys: a few bold spoonfuls, spaced out
- Serve at room temp: chutney and cheese both shine more when they’re not straight from the fridge
