Ingredients of Old Leyden Cheese
Ingredients:
Fat 40+, pasteurized cow's milk, rennet, salt, starter culture, cumin.
The powerful and robust taste of Old Leyden Crumbly Cheese
Leyden cheese (Leidse kaas) is one of the oldest and most authentic types of cheese in the Netherlands. Where Gouda cumin cheese is known for its full-fat (48+) and creamy character, Leyden cheese is traditionally partly made from skimmed milk. This results in a lower fat percentage (40+). That lower fat content, combined with the extreme maturation process, ensures that the structure of this cheese is naturally a lot harder and drier.
Our Old Leyden cheese has been given no less than 3 years to ripen in the traditional cheese warehouse. During these three years, almost all the moisture evaporates and the flavor of the cumin seeds fully penetrates the dairy. The result is an unprecedentedly piquant, characterful crumbly cheese. The cumin provides a warm, nutty undertone that perfectly balances the sharp, salty cheese flavor. Because the cheese is so hard, it is difficult to slice, but it is all the more delicious to break into robust chunks with a nice glass of red wine or dark beer.
Freshly cut from the wheel for the ultimate cheese experience
At GoudaCheeseShop.com you are always assured of absolute top quality and unparalleled freshness. We do not pre-cut our cheese. Only when we receive your order for the Old Leyden cheese, do we cut (or break) your piece accurately from the large cheese wheel. Immediately after portioning, your cheese is packed tightly and completely airtight in a vacuum. To preserve the firm, crumbly texture and the rich, intense aromas, we always ship your order with a cooling pack. The big advantage of this very old cheese is that, partly due to the low moisture content and the vacuum packaging, it can be kept unopened in the refrigerator for an extremely long time without loss of quality!
