The secret of the Vlooswijk family
Le Petit Doruvael is the wonderful result of a successful collaboration between Ad Vlooswijk, his son Jirco and colleagues from Montfoort. This collaboration is characterized by a great deal of inventiveness and authentic craftsmanship. The farm is located in the middle of the Green Heart, the absolute cradle of the best farmer's cheeses in the Netherlands.
The family developed a special washed rind cheese that forms a unique addition to the traditional Dutch cheese assortment. However, the exact recipe and the details of the preparation process are kept strictly secret by the Vlooswijk family! What we do know is that the cheese is handmade and matures for at least four weeks. This special treatment provides the striking orange-red rind and the refined character.
Taste experience and variants
This regional cheese is characterized by an extremely soft and creamy structure that almost melts on the tongue. The taste is full, creamy and has a delicate nutty aroma. In addition to the delicious original variant, there is also the exclusive Le Petit Doruvael Truffle. Here the soft dairy is enriched with real pieces of truffle, which provides a luxurious, earthy taste explosion. Both cheeses are absolute eye-catchers on a cheese board and combine fantastically with a good glass of wine or a specialty beer.
