The irresistible taste of Beemster X-O
Why is the Beemster X-O (Extra Old) such an icon among cheese lovers? The answer lies in time and patience. This top cheese has matured in the historic warehouses for no less than 26 months. This has made the cheese exceptionally powerful, crumbly and intense in taste. Typical are the notes of pecan and caramel that form a beautiful interplay with the savory, spicy base. The dairy is packed with small, white ripening crystals that provide a delicious crunch in the mouth.
A whole cheese wheel of this Beemster X-O is the ultimate eye-catcher for a luxurious cheese board, special occasions or as a generous gift for a true gourmet. Because the cheese is prepared with vegetarian rennet, everyone can enjoy it without any worries. Serve this masterful, extra old cheese with a good glass of matured port or a sturdy red wine for an unforgettable evening full of Dutch pride!

Frequently Asked Questions about Whole Cheeses
Is the Beemster X-O suitable for vegetarians?
Yes, absolutely! The Beemster X-O is fully prepared with vegetarian (microbial) rennet and therefore fits perfectly within a vegetarian diet.
How long can I keep a whole cheese?
A whole, uncut extra old cheese in the original coating can often be kept outside the refrigerator for months, provided it is stored in a cool and dark place. As soon as the cheese is cut or vacuum-packed in pieces, store it in the refrigerator.
Is there a discount on a whole cheese?
Yes, certainly. Buying a whole wheel of cheese is proportionately always cheaper than buying individual pieces. Ideal for large consumers and parties!
Do you also sell other whole cheeses?
Absolutely! In addition to this Beemster X-O, we have wheels of young cheese, matured cheese and various herb cheeses. View our complete category Whole Cheese to discover all large cheeses.
