The golden, masterful taste of Beemster XO
The Beemster XO (Extra Old) is the absolute pride of the cheese makers from the Beemster polder. The basis for this top cheese is the nutritious, slightly salty meadow milk from the region. Where normal old cheese hits the shelves after about 10 months, the Beemster XO is allowed to stay in the authentic cheese warehouse for a whopping 26 months (over two years!). During this extremely long maturation process, almost all the moisture evaporates, leaving a magnificent, very firm crumbly cheese.
That this passion and craftsmanship pays off is proven by the prestigious gold medal that the Beemster XO won at the World Cheese Awards in 2024-2025! The result is a flavor profile that is truly unparalleled. The cheese is extremely piquant and full, but also has a surprisingly sweet and fruity undertone with a striking nutty note. The countless white dots in the cheese are crystallized proteins and salts that provide a great 'crunch'. Furthermore, the cheese is vegetarion and naturally lactose-free. The perfect cheese to crumble with a heavy red wine or a vintage port!
Freshly cut from the wheel for ultimate quality
At GoudaCheeseShop.com we deliver this exclusive cheese in absolute top condition. As soon as we receive your order for the Beemster XO, we cut (or crumble) your piece completely fresh from the large, original cheese wheel.
Immediately after portioning, we pack the cheese tightly and completely airtight in a vacuum. To optimally preserve the fresh, crumbly structure and the exceptionally intense aromas, we always ship the cheese with a cooling pack. Because of the very low moisture content, this 26-month-old cheese is perfect to send by mail and can be kept in the refrigerator for an extremely long time (unopened in the vacuum).
