The taste of Brockelaer

For the true connoisseur there is the Brockelaer. The name says it all: this is a real 'crumbly cheese' with an overwhelming character. Thanks to an exceptionally long maturing process in specialised cheese warehouses, this cheese has lost almost all of its moisture. The result? A quintessentially Dutch cheese that crumbles beautifully and is packed with crunchy protein crystals. The flavour is intense, deep and complex, perfect for savouring at leisure on a cold winter evening or as a luxurious finish to a dinner.

A Masterpiece in Patience

Making a high-quality crumbly cheese is an exercise in patience. Where many cheeses are sold after a few months, the Brockelaer is given ample time to develop its masterly, crumbly texture. The cheesemakers closely monitor this lengthy process, which produces an unrivalled depth of aromas, from light caramel and nutty notes to a powerful, robust finish.

A crumbly cheese is best not cut with an ordinary cheese slicer. Instead, use a sturdy cheese knife to break off robust chunks ('crumbling'). Present the Brockelaer on its own on a rustic wooden board. Pair it with a heavy red wine, a glass of aged jenever or a fruity fig chutney for an unrivalled culinary experience.

How do you cut a whole cheese?

Cutting a whole cheese wheel may seem like a challenge, but with the right technique it is very simple. Use a professional cheese knife with two handles or cut the cheese step by step into manageable wedges. View the image below for the best way to divide your cheese wheel, so that you always get beautiful, even pieces.

How to cut a whole cheese

Frequently asked questions about whole cheeses

How long can I keep a whole Brockelaer?

A whole, uncut Brockelaer in the original coating can often be kept outside the refrigerator for weeks to 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 the Brockelaer, we have wheels of young, matured, old and various herb cheeses. View our complete category Whole Cheese to discover all large cheeses.
