Reypenaer cheese, one of the great Dutch cheeses, is carefully matured for about one year. This Dutch gourmet cheese is aged less than the Reypenaer VSOP, although it is already very old as cheeses go. It does not have the sharper tangy taste of the Reypenaer VSOP, instead it has a soft and creamy flavor that lingers on the palate. Simply delicious!
We also have this cheese in a smaller piece.
This cheese is ideal for serving on a cheese board for that special occasion, at the table, and for cutting off small slices and decadently enjoying with your favorite beverage. We almost hate to mention it, but Reypenaer sliced is a perfect accompaniment in building that very special gourmet sandwich. Indeed Reypenaer more than fulfills its reputation as an excellent all purpose gourmet cheese.
At the International Nantwich Cheese Show in the UK this year (2007) the Reypenaer cheese was Gold in best Dutch cheese Trophy for Supreme Champion Continental cheese Trophy for Best Continental cheese. Reypenaer already won the 2005 International Nantwich Cheese Show competition in the hard cheese category and overall winner in all categories.
