Commissiekaas

The Dutch Commissiekaas is in France known as Mimolette. Both cheeses are round, like a ball and have a vibrant orange paste. The Commissiekaas is a little sharper than the Mimolette and the rind is smooth and has the same color as the cheese; the Mimolette has a light beige crusty, irregular rind.

Edam
Your price:
€ 25,12
Despite having a long history, real farmhouse Dutch Edam cheese has disappeared and with it its original sharp identity. Today Edam cheese is a pleasant but rather bland factory-produced cheese. Edam cheese is known for its distinctive red wax coating, but this only appears on cheeses for export. Those destined for the home market are sold with their natural thin yellow rind exposed. The buttercup yellow paste is firm but springy, although not usually as rubbery as young factory-made Gouda.
Edam has a lightly spicy aroma and easy taste with a slightly salty flavor lingering on the palate. Edam is made from partially skimmed, pasteurized milk and thus has a relatively low fat content. A ...

Reypenaer cheese, one of the great Dutch cheeses, is carefully matured for about one year.

Reypenaer V.S.O.P.
Your price:
€ 20,00
Reypenaer V.S.O.P. is truly a Dutch gourmet cheese showpiece. Magnificent and well deserved of the V.S.O.P. designation.
This delicious gourmet cheese from the Netherlands is matured for about 2 years and during that maturation sheds approximately 25% of its original weight. The white spots you will see on the surface indicate the start of mineral and protein crystallization. In comparison to most cheeses that are aged from a few weeks to a few months, this is a masterpiece long in the making.
We also have this cheese in a smaller piece.
Aroma and flavor are superb. Sharp and tangy. Well recommended and arguably one of the greatest Dutch hard cheeses....

Reypenaer XO Reserve
Seasonal not currently available
Reypenaer XO reserve is a spectacular extension of the already impressive assortment of Reypenaer cheese. Reypenaer XO reserve matured naturally for 2.5 years and is another master piece that will only be produced in limited quantities each year.
One of the secret of this very old cheese is the milk, produced by the cows that graze outside in the summer time in the lush green meadows of The Netherlands. Dutch summers are usually wet and pleasant in temperature, the perfect climate for grass to grow.
That same summertime with its mild temperatures creates an ideal environment in the more than 100 year-old traditional cheese warehouse for the maturation of the Reypenaer cheeses; a high...
