The powerful and creamy taste of Matured Beemster

The Matured Beemster cheese is the perfect choice for those looking for a cheese with a distinct character that still remains wonderfully supple. The secret of this cheese begins in the Beemster polder, the oldest polder in the Netherlands. The cows graze there on very nutritious meadows, which gives the milk a unique, rich taste. The matured variant ripens for 16 to 18 weeks in the traditional cheese warehouse. This longer maturation time ensures a more robust, slightly salty flavor, while the cheese retains its beloved, soft creaminess.

In addition, this Beemster cheese is artisanally curdled with microbial rennet, which makes it 100% suitable for vegetarians. This cheese truly has all the characteristics of an old-fashioned tasty Dutch cheese. It is a fantastic cheese for sandwiches, delicious on crackers, or cut into cubes as a savory snack on your cheese board.

Freshly cut from the wheel for ultimate freshness

At GoudaCheeseShop.com, you do not order a standard pre-packaged cheese. As soon as we receive your order for the matured Beemster cheese, we cut your piece completely fresh from a large, round Beemster cheese wheel.

Immediately after cutting, we pack the cheese tightly and completely airtight in a vacuum. To optimally protect the fresh, creamy structure and the soft taste, we ship the cheese cooled. This way you can be sure that the cheese will arrive to you in top condition. Big advantage: as long as you keep the vacuum packaging closed, this matured cheese will remain wonderfully fresh in your refrigerator for weeks!

 

Frequently Asked Questions about Matured Beemster Cheese

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

The big difference lies in the maturation time. Mild matured Beemster ripens for 8 to 10 weeks and is very soft. Matured Beemster gets more time and ripens for 16 to 18 weeks. Because of this, the matured cheese is slightly firmer, loses some moisture, and develops a stronger, slightly salty and fuller flavor, without losing its creaminess.

Is this cheese suitable for vegetarians?

Yes, absolutely! Our 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.

Does matured Beemster cheese melt well?

Yes, certainly. Although matured cheese has ripened a little longer, it still has an enormous amount of smoothness. This makes it excellent for melting, perfect for a tasty grilled cheese sandwich, over pizza, or in a gratin.

How long can I store this cheese in the fridge?

Thanks to our vacuum packaging, the cheese can safely be kept unopened in the refrigerator for 7 to 8 weeks. After opening, it is best to wrap the cheese in special cheese paper. Store it in the vegetable drawer, and once cut it will remain optimally fresh for another 1 to 2 weeks.

Do you also sell other variants of Beemster?

Certainly! Discover our full assortment via Beemster cheese. There you will find the complete maturation line, from deliciously young to the very pronounced and piquant old Beemster cheeses.
