Description Beppie Piquant - Organic Sheep Cheese

Where the mild Beppie sheep cheese is soft and sweet, the Beppie Piquant - Organic Sheep Cheese shows a completely different and surprising side of sheep's milk. Due to a longer ripening time of about 4 to 6 months, the cheese develops a full, rich, and wonderfully spicy profile. The unique thing about pure organic sheep's milk is that it contains an enormous amount of proteins and healthy fats. As a result, this matured cheese gets a light 'bite' with the very first fine crystals, but it does not dry out extremely. On the contrary, it still melts wonderfully buttery soft in the mouth. Completely vegetarian prepared and an absolute must for gourmets looking for an outspoken cheese with character.

Order Beppie Piquant - Organic Sheep Cheese online

  • ✔ Matured for at least 4 to 6 months for a robust, spicy bite
  • ✔ Made from 100% organic and high-quality Dutch sheep's milk
  • ✔ Rich in natural proteins, easily digestible, and melts softly
  • ✔ Pure nature: prepared with vegetarian (microbial) rennet

A Powerful Flavor Enhancer

On the cheese board, the Beppie Piquant immediately claims the leading role. Cut or break the cheese into robust pieces for a luxurious presentation. The salty, slightly nutty, and piquant notes come into their own incredibly well next to a bowl of truffle honey, sweet pears, or roasted pecans.

This matured sheep cheese also adds an enormous amount of depth to hot dishes. Grate it generously over a fresh carpaccio, melt the cheese through an autumnal pumpkin risotto, or use it as a sturdy topping on a freshly baked focaccia. Pour a full-bodied, powerful red wine, such as a Rioja, or a dark abbey beer to complete the evening.

5 Frequently Asked Questions about Beppie Piquant - Organic Sheep Cheese

What makes this Beppie 'Piquant'?

Due to the longer ripening of 4 to 6 months, part of the moisture evaporates. This concentrates the flavors and transforms the cheese from a mild base into a robust and spicy aroma with a lot of character.

Does the cheese taste very 'sheepy'?

This cheese is certainly more powerful and fuller than the mild variant, but retains an extremely pure, rich flavor. Due to the high-quality organic milk, the taste does not become extremely 'woolly' or overly animalistic, making it very popular.

Are there protein crystals in this cheese?

Yes, due to the months of ripening on wooden shelves, the proteins in the cheese slowly begin to crystallize. This provides small white dots and a wonderfully subtle 'crunch' while eating.

Is this sheep cheese suitable for a lactose-free diet?

Sheep cheese is significantly easier to digest than cow's milk for many people anyway. In addition, the ripening time (4-6 months) naturally breaks down the majority of the milk sugars (lactose), meaning it is often tolerated without problems.

Do you have other organic cheeses besides Beppie?

Yes, indeed! We have a rich assortment of organic specialties, including the goat cheeses from care farm De Mèkkerstee and the Jersey cheeses. Discover the collection via De Mèkkerstee Organic Cheeses.
