The BeemsterKaas develops a medium sharp flavor after an aging process of 4 to 5 months.
BeemsterKaas (Beemster Cheese) is the Dutch name for a type of Gouda cheese from the Beemster area, which is located in the northwestern part of The Netherlands. In Beemster, the cows graze far away from any industrial area, in the meadows between the salty North Sea and the sweeter inner sea, the IJsselmeer.
BeemsterKaas is made according to a traditional recipe and the maturation takes place on wooden shelves without any additives. The cheesemakers that produce Beemster cheeses use less salt, which means you taste more cheese.
