At Goudsekaasshop.nl, we are proud of our extensive range of whole Beemster cheeses. Whether you are looking for a mild, young Beemster cheese with its characteristic creaminess, or an extra matured variant that has already developed more character and subtle crystallization, we have the perfect whole cheese for you. Our cheeses are carefully selected and handled with the utmost care, so that you can enjoy a product at home that embodies the rich tradition and craftsmanship of the Beemster polder. A whole cheese is not only a delight for yourself but also an impressive gift for any cheese lover.
The Beemster polder, with its fertile clay soil, contributes to the exceptional milk quality that forms the basis for every Beemster cheese. This results in a wide range of flavors. For example, try our Beemster Jong, known for its buttery-soft texture and mild, fresh taste. For those who love more sharpness, there is Beemster Oud, a cheese that has matured for at least 12 months and offers a deep, intense flavor with delightful salt crystals. Or perhaps the Beemster X-O Oud, a true taste sensation for the real connoisseur. Each whole cheese tells its own story of ripening and craftsmanship, waiting to be discovered by you.
A whole Beemster cheese is more than just a product; it is a statement. Perfect as a centerpiece on your cheese board, an impressive gift for friends or family, or as a base for delicious culinary creations. Imagine: a generous wedge of Beemster Matured with a good glass of wine, or shavings of Beemster Aged over your pasta. The possibilities are endless. Additionally, storing a whole cheese is easier, and the cheese stays fresh longer than pre-cut pieces. Bring authentic Dutch cheese culture into your home and surprise yourself and your guests with the unparalleled quality of whole Beemster cheese from Goudsekaasshop.nl.
What makes Beemster cheese so special?
Beemster cheese owes its uniquely creamy taste to the fertile clay soil of the Beemster polder (UNESCO World Heritage), which provides exceptionally flavorful milk. Additionally, the cheese is traditionally matured on wooden shelves in a special cheese warehouse, contributing to the development of its rich, authentic taste.
How long can I store a whole Beemster cheese?
A whole Beemster cheese, if stored properly, can remain fresh for a very long time. Unopened and vacuum-packed in the refrigerator, it often stays good for months. After opening, it's best to wrap the cheese in cheese paper (or baking paper) and store it in the refrigerator; this way, the cheese remains fresh and tasty for weeks to months.
What ripening stages does Beemster cheese have and what does that mean for the taste?
Beemster cheese is available in various ripening stages, ranging from Young (approx. 4 weeks) with a mild and creamy taste, to Matured (approx. 4 months) with more character, Extra Matured (approx. 7 months) with subtle crystals, Aged (approx. 10-12 months) with a sharp taste and salt crystals, to X-O Aged (over 2 years) with a very intense and pungent taste.
