How the Fromage Montage Works
In 2025, Emile’s Fromage Montage showcases eight different cheeses at the fest, with the goal of tasting at least five to acquire a complimentary cheese-inspired dessert.
At each designated location, you’ll receive a stamp on the back page of your festival passport. Collect any five stamps and a surprise treat will be waiting for you at Shimmering Sips Global Marketplace.
Tip: Have a favorite cheese? Your festival passport is stamped for each purchase, which doesn’t have to be all different cheeses. Go ahead and repeat your favorites and get stamped each time!
Warm Raclette Swiss Cheese
You can order the raclette with or without ham, and both variations come with baby potatoes, cornichons, and a sliced baguette.
- Find it Here: The Alps Global Marketplace
This is a favorite every year. The combo of the soft potatoes and the tanginess of the cornichon go great with the crispy bread to dip in the cheese. There’s so much happening on this plate, you might want to share to save room for the rest of the fest.
Suggested Pairing
New to the fest this year, the Stiegl Brewery Goldbräu Austrian Märzen Lager (also available at Alps Marketplace) was a bright, well-rounded brew that balanced out the hearty nature of the raclette dish.
Regularly seen at Food and Wine, “schinkennudeln” translates to “ham noodles,” and here it comes aswith a slice of pasta gratin with ham, onions, and cheese.
- Find it Here: Germany Global Marketplace
Suggested Pairing
Sample the beer flight in Germany to narrow down your best bet. The winner to pair with this Fromage Montage dish is the Von Trapp Brewing Oktoberfest Mãrzen Märzen-Style Lager.
Basque Cheesecake
New to the festival this year, this cake is served with orange sauce and slices.
- Find it Here: Spain Global Marketplace
Fans of caramelized, rich cheesecake should be sure to make this one of their cheese stroll stops.
Suggested Pairing
One sip and we’re encouraging you to get the Summer in Spain cocktail to go with the cheesecake. This drink features frozen Simply Lemonade with Yellow Chartreuse Liqueur and Green Chartreuse Liqueur. The herbal notes in the liqueur balance out with the citrus zing.
Griddled Cheese
A slice of warm cheese on a plate? Some would say this item is an ultimate representation of the cheese stroll. This fan-favorite is covered with pistachios and honey.
- Find it Here: Greece Global Marketplace
Suggested Pairing
For a great contrast to the nutty and salty flavors of the griddled cheese from Greece, try the Greek Melon Limeade. You’ll get a blend of Kleos Mastiha Spirit, Artonic Melon Apéritif, Pearl Vodka, and lime sour mix. Each sip is tangy and bright, the perfect offset for each crunchy, thick bite of your cheesy slice.
Pão de Queijo
This Brazilian cheese bread comes in a trio of soft bites.
- Find it Here: Brazil Global Marketplace
With soft flavors embedded into the bread, these chewy bites deliver a subtle cheese treat that are easy to snack on as you traverse World Showcase.
Suggested Pairing
Here at Brazil, grab the Frozen Caipirinha with Cachaça Spirit to turn up the dial on tangy flavors alongside the cheese bread.
Pineapple Cheesecake
This fun shaped cake is served with passion fruit curd and macadamia nuts.
- Find it Here: Hawai’i Global Marketplace at the front of World Showcase.
Sitting atop a drizzle of passionfruit, the pineapple cake lived up to the hype. With each bite, fruity undertones met with the cheesecake flavor to create a pleasant dessert with just the right amount of sweetness. There is no crust on this cheesecake — instead you’ll get a great crunch from the macadamia nuts.
Suggested Pairing
We paired our cutie cheesecake with the O’ahu Sunrise. This drink brings the Hawaii vibes, with vodka, DOLE Pineapple Juice, and grenadine, topped with a decorative (and edible) flower. This pairing created the ultimate pineapple experience we were looking for.
Pumpkin-Mascarpone Ravioli
This ravioli features a brown butter vinaigrette, pecorino cheese, pomegranate seeds, and hazelnut praline.
- Find it Here: Forest & Field Global Marketplace via the walkway between World Showcase and the Imagination! Pavilion
Suggested Pairing
The red Famille Hugel Classic Pinot Noir at Forest & Field is a soft, fruity wine that doesn’t try to compete with all the flavors happening in the pumpkin-mascarpone ravioli. Famille Hugel suggests pairing this well-balanced wine with cheese, so you’re on the right track to enjoy with the cheese-forward pasta.
Fall Fruit Cheesecake
This spice cake features Boursin Fig & Balsamic Cheese with pomegranates and candied pecans.
- Find it Here: Milled & Mulled Global Marketplace on the Walkway between World Showcase and the Imagination! Pavilion
This cheesecake featured a rich, autumnal presentation and flavors that balanced creamy sweetness with warm, fragrant undertones. If you’re looking for an ultimate fall treat, this cheesecake checks all the boxes.
Suggested Pairing
The Keel Farms Maple Harvest Hard Cider (new to the fest this year) is the perfect pairing. The maple from the cider works really well with the warm, earthy flavors in the spice cake.
