Description Farmhouse Cheese Messeklever Matured

This is no ordinary mature cheese. The Farmhouse Cheese Messeklever Matured is a unique phenomenon in the cheese world. Prepared from fresh, unpasteurized milk, this artisanal farmhouse cheese offers a full, robust and pure flavor that you won't find anywhere else. The special thing, however, lies in its texture: due to a special traditional preparation method, the cheese retains an extremely high moisture content. This makes the cheese exceptionally soft, smooth and it sticks slightly to the knife when cutting, earning it the proud honorary title of 'Messeklever' (Knife-sticker). A phenomenal taste sensation for gourmets looking for character and softness.

The Craft of the Messeklever

The secret of an authentic Messeklever lies in the hand of the farmer and the temperature during preparation. By washing the curd shorter and with less warm water, the cheese remains more moist. After several months of maturing on wooden shelves, a mature farmhouse cheese emerges that has the rich spice of an older cheese, but possesses the deliciously melting softness of a young cheese.

It is best to cut a Messeklever with care and preferably with a special cheese knife with holes in the blade, so that the soft paste sticks less. Serve chunky, robust pieces on your serving board, pair with a fruity white wine or a characterful autumn bock beer, and enjoy a pure Dutch delicacy. Also absolutely heavenly when it slowly melts on a hearty toasted sandwich!

5 Frequently Asked Questions about Farmhouse Cheese Messeklever Matured

What exactly does the term 'Messeklever' mean?

A Messeklever is a cheese that is so incredibly creamy and soft in structure that the cheese literally sticks to the cheese knife when cutting. This is caused by the high moisture content that has been retained during cheesemaking.

Can I eat this farmhouse cheese during my pregnancy?

No. This cheese is traditionally prepared from unpasteurized, raw milk. Due to the use of raw milk, it is advised to avoid this cheese during pregnancy.

Which cheese knife is best to use for this cheese?

Because this cheese is extremely smooth and sticky, we recommend a cheese knife with holes or cutouts in the blade. This reduces the contact surface and allows the knife to glide more smoothly through the cheese.

Is this cheese suitable for a vegetarian diet?

No. Animal rennet is used in the preparation of this authentic farmhouse cheese. As a result, the cheese is unfortunately not suitable for vegetarians.

Do you have more artisanal farmhouse cheeses?

Certainly! From soft and young to crumbly and extra mature, we have a very wide range. Discover our most beautiful raw milk pearls in the Farmhouse Cheese category.
