Customer Reviews
I expected more crunchy protein crystals in this than I’m getting. Buying the same “Beemster Classic” at a local grocery store (at $23/pound!) results in a very different cheese than I received. I’m certain I got the correct cheese, which makes me think that perhaps the cheese I’ve gotten locally is older by several months at least than the 18 months it states, or perhaps is a different cheese than I thought. Looking up my purchase history, it is listed as “Beemster Aged, firm and bold” instead of “Beemster Classic”. Hmm. Anyway, this is great cheese and I’m really glad to have gotten it. Shipping was super quick and it was delivered within days of me ordering, which was amazing. This wheel of cheese has now visited more countries than me!
