Walnut Date Bread

This walnut date bread brings together the deep, honey-like sweetness of dates and the earthy crunch of walnuts. The result is a compact, flavor-packed loaf that makes a perfect counterpoint to bold cheeses. The dates add a warm, almost caramel-like sweetness, while the walnuts contribute texture and a lightly bitter note.

On the cheese board, this bread is a natural match for aged cheese, blue cheese or goat's cheese. Try a slice alongside a crumble of Stilton, a wedge of Goudse Oud or a soft Geitenkaas Brokkel. It's also surprisingly good with a glass of port, sherry or a cup of coffee.

Tip: Slice thinly. Store in a cool, dry place.
