Description 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 maturation process in specialized cheese warehouses, this cheese has lost almost all of its moisture. The result? A purely Dutch cheese that crumbles beautifully and is full of crunchy protein crystals. The taste is intense, deep and complex, perfect for enjoying quietly on a cold winter evening or as a luxurious conclusion to a dinner.

A Masterpiece of 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 plenty of time to develop its masterful, crumbly texture. The cheese masters closely monitor this lengthy process, which ensures an unprecedented depth of aromas - from light caramel and nutty notes to a powerful, robust aftertaste.
It is best not to slice a crumbly cheese with a regular cheese slicer. Instead, use a sturdy cheese knife to break off robust pieces ('crumble'). Present the Brockelaer pure on a rustic wooden board. Combine it with a heavy red wine, a glass of old genever or a fruity fig chutney for an unparalleled culinary experience.

5 Frequently Asked Questions about Brockelaer
Why does this cheese crumble so much?
During the extremely long maturation, most of the moisture evaporates from the cheese. This creates a hard, dry texture that naturally crumbles. This is exactly what connoisseurs look for in an authentic 'over-aged' cheese!
How should I cut the Brockelaer?
Do not use a cheese slicer, as the cheese will break. We recommend using a sturdy cheese knife (or special crumbling knife) to pierce or break off small, robust pieces of the cheese.
Are the white spots on the cheese mold?
No, absolutely not. These are protein and salt crystals that form during the long maturation process. They give the cheese that beloved, crispy 'bite' and are a sign of absolute top quality.
Does this mature crumbly cheese still contain lactose?
No. Because the cheese has matured for so long, all naturally occurring milk sugars (lactose) have been completely broken down. This makes the cheese naturally lactose-free.
What is the ideal drink pairing for this cheese?
Because of its extremely powerful and salty taste, the Brockelaer pairs perfectly with robust, sweeter drinks. Think of an old port, a full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon or a locally brewed heavy specialty beer.
