The soft taste of the Trappists

Orval Abbey cheese is a cheese with a rich history that originated in the abbey of the same name in the Belgian Gaume region. The cheese is still prepared with great respect for tradition. During the ripening process, the cheese is washed, which results in a beautiful washed rind. This treatment not only gives the cheese its characteristic orangey color, but also ensures that the soft, creamy flavors of the cheese are preserved and can develop further.

The dairy on the inside of the Orval cheese is extremely smooth and almost melts on the tongue. The taste is mild, buttery and accessible, making it a cheese that is loved by young and old. Orval Abbey cheese is fantastic to enjoy pure on a luxurious cheese board, preferably in combination with a traditionally brewed Trappist beer. In addition, this cheese is also perfect to use for melting, for example in a warm casserole or a luxurious grilled cheese sandwich.

Freshly cut from the knife for an optimal taste experience

At GoudaCheeseShop.com we treat this delicate abbey cheese with the greatest care. As soon as you place your order, we cut the Orval cheese fresh from the large cheese wheel. Immediately afterwards we pack your piece tightly and airtight in a vacuum. To protect the fragile structure and the soft aromas during the journey, we always ship your order with a cooling pack. This way you bring fresh top quality into your home.

Frequently Asked Questions about Orval Abbey Cheese

Is the rind of Orval cheese edible?

Yes, the washed rind is naturally edible and provides an extra savory touch. Please note, some people find the texture or taste of the rind a bit too strong, so it is mainly a matter of personal taste whether or not you eat it.

What makes Orval a Trappist cheese?

A cheese may only bear the name 'Trappist cheese' if the production takes place within the walls of a Trappist abbey or under the direct supervision of the monks. Orval is one of the few authentic Trappist cheeses in the world.

Does this abbey cheese melt well?

Yes, certainly. Because of its semi-hard, soft structure and high fat content (50+), the Orval cheese has excellent melting properties, which makes it ideal for warm preparations.

Authentic Belgian Trappist cheese to pair with beer
Review by
This cheese has a mild flavor but very rich and creamy. Our suggestion is to cut the cheese into small cubes, dust with celery salt, and place in small bowls with toothpicks. Then enjoy pub style with your favorite Belgian beer!

The souvenir I couldn't buy directly in Belgium
Review by
I tried this cheese in a very nice brasserie during my holidays in Bruxelles and I really loved it! But flying with low cost airlines doesn't make it very easy to bring home nice souvenirs like this, so I was delighted to find out that I could order the cheese on line! The service was fast and perfect, the package arrived to Italy perfectly packed and refrigerated and the cheese was exactly as good as the one I had in Bruxelles: creamy, buttery and rich of flavour. Thank you so much!!
