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.

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.
