Grilled Naan Flatbread with Grapes, Onion Jam, Prosciutto, and Double-Crème Cheese

There’s nothing more irresistible than melted gooey cheese, especially in this Grilled Naan Flatbread with Grapes, Onion Jam, and Prosciutto, with Double-Crème Cheese that celebrates summer! This post is brought to you by Castello Cheese.

Wine Country

Our car broke through the cluster of traffic, turning onto the winding road that dipped and rose with each curve of the hills. The familiar site greeted my eyes. Content cows, grazing under the warm (and thankfully not scorching hot) sun. Ponies and horses playing games with one another in their paddocks. And rows upon obedient rows of grapes. I was in wine country this weekend, and I always marvel at how this scene never grows old.

Where I live in my part of the Bay Area, it’s really not too different, except for the vineyards, of course, but there’s something more nonplussed in how even the chickens strut. Everything and everyone seems to take a step back and relax a bit.

I thought of the last time I was in wine country when I immersed myself in cheese and wine with Castello cheese. It was a day not too unlike today — we had just emerged from a hot spell and everyone seemed to be enjoying the perfect weather outdoors.

The breeze running through the vineyards was that calm, whispering kind, and the sun felt more like a hug than a scold. I came away from that visit so taken by the flavors I had explored. I shared a salad with you, but I realize that I didn’t tell you enough about the flavors that inspired me.

Wine Tasting

When your itinerary specifies wine tasting at 10 am, you know this is serious business. (Even if inside you’re happily clapping your hands and jumping up and down). I found myself back at Trinchero Family Estates. This time to experience a wine tasting that truly opened my eyes to the power of food and wine pairings.

The elementary approach felt almost like a science lab, where it simplified how tasting the flight of wines with something salt or sweet can instantly change the flavor of the wine and your experience. This is the kind of tasting I think any budding oenophile and cook should experience!

Chef Michael Symon

With minds and palates opened, our tastebuds were further tickled with a cheese tasting with none other than the perennially jovial chef Michael Symon. In case you were wondering, yes, Chef Symon is indeed as approachable as he seems. I will admit to you that after having had the opportunity over the years to meet many chefs who are considered “celebrity” in the food world, Michael Symon is hands down perhaps the most down-to-earth and genuine as they come.

He led us through pairings of Castello cheese with some of the foods he finds most delicious and interesting. An al fresco lunch followed featuring some of his dishes on the menu that showcase Castello cheese. And it felt like hanging out with your talented cousin who shared your love of food.

Following all of this, we got hands-on and created our own cheese boards, pairing them with charcuterie and all the accouterments that we wished. Michael Symon was there to advise, or in some cases, chide, and when it was all over, it was like the most epic showcase of cheeseboards you wish for every party.

Grilled Flatbread

Since this visit, I have been recreating these cheeseboards, but as you know, I also have been loving the cheese in my salads. I also couldn’t resist getting a little melty with the cheese.

This Grilled Naan Flatbread with Grapes, Onion Jam, and Prosciutto with Double-Crème White is a harmony of all the flavors I crave in a grilled flatbread.

Sweet late summer grapes nestle into a sweet and savory onion jam, with salty, crisp prosciutto. It’s all held together with Castello Double-Crème White. Savoring each bite is like the punctuation mark to the end of summer.

If you aren’t able to find Double-Crème White, then you must try this flatbread using the Castello Creamy Havarti. It also melts beautifully and has an amazing balance of creaminess and saltiness that works incredibly well.

To be honest with you, I can’t decide which cheese I like better on this grilled flatbread!

Enjoy each bite while you sit outside in the warm shade. And wash it all down with a glass of Folie a Deux Chardonnay. You have the perfect pairing to round out summer before it hurries away. While it’s here, we need to relax and enjoy it as much as we can, don’t you agree?
