The powerful and piquant taste of Extra Matured Beemster

The Extra Matured Beemster cheese is the cheese that has rested the longest of all matured Beemster cheeses. The basis lies in the North Holland Beemster polder, where the cows graze on nutritious, slightly salty meadows. This variant matures for no less than 7 to 8 months in the traditional cheese warehouse. After this original maturation process, the cheese receives an extra treatment that yields an enormously flavor-enhancing result. The result is a particularly full, very piquant cheese in which the first small protein crystals begin to form.

In addition to its rich flavor, this Beemster cheese is a conscious choice for everyone. The cheese is curdled with microbial rennet, which makes it 100% suitable for vegetarians. This cheese is an absolute favorite for those who love a bit more spice. Delicious as a savory snack out of hand, on a robust slice of bread, or as a perfect, tasty garnish over your favorite casserole.

Freshly cut, vacuum-packed and shipped cooled

Your 500 g piece is cut fresh only after you order, and vacuum-packed straight away. The cheese is then shipped cooled to your door. Keep the cheese in the fridge and take it out about half an hour before serving to get the most flavour.

Frequently Asked Questions about Extra Matured Beemster Cheese

What is the difference between matured and extra matured Beemster cheese?

The big difference lies in the maturation time. Where a regular matured cheese ripens for about 4 months, the extra matured variant gets 7 to 8 months of time. As a result, the extra matured cheese loses more moisture, which makes its structure firmer and the taste significantly more piquant and intense.

Is this cheese suitable for vegetarians?

Yes, absolutely! Our Extra Matured Beemster cheese is prepared with microbial rennet, also known as vegetarian rennet. This makes the cheese 100% safe and suitable for people on a vegetarian diet.

Can extra matured Beemster cheese be used in hot dishes?

Yes certainly, it is a fantastic cheese to cook with. Because it has a very powerful flavor, it gives a lot of depth to dishes. Perfect to grate over a casserole, over pasta, or to give a grilled cheese sandwich extra spice.

How long can I store this cheese in the fridge?

Because of the longer maturation time and the lower moisture content, this cheese can be stored excellently. Unopened in our vacuum packaging, it can certainly be kept in the refrigerator for 7 to 8 weeks. After opening, it is best to wrap the cheese in special cheese paper; in the vegetable drawer it will then remain good for another 2 to 3 weeks.

Do you also sell other variants of Beemster?

Certainly! Within our Beemster cheese category you will find the complete maturation line. From deliciously soft and young to the very pronounced old Beemster cheeses.
