In this category, you will find a wonderful selection of whole cumin cheese and clove cheese, especially for the connoisseur who prefers a complete cheese. A whole cheese not only offers a longer shelf life but also the opportunity to cut it yourself and enjoy optimal freshness. Our cumin cheese is rich in recognizable cumin seeds, which provide a warm, nutty flavour. Clove cheese, often also called Frisian clove cheese, is famous for its spicy and herbaceous flavour, derived from the addition of cloves and sometimes cumin. Both are characteristic Dutch cheeses that deserve a unique place on any cheese board.
Our whole cumin cheese varies from young and creamy with a mild cumin flavour to aged and crumbly with an intense, sharp cumin flavour. Ideal for those who enjoy a spicy bite. The whole clove cheese offers a completely different but equally captivating flavour profile. The cloves provide a powerful, aromatic and slightly sweet note that perfectly balances the saltiness of the cheese. These cheeses are not only delicious on bread, but also surprisingly good in salads or melted over warm dishes. Discover the diversity and find your favourite whole cheese with character.
A whole cumin cheese or clove cheese is more than just a product; it is an experience. Present a whole cheese as a centerpiece at a festive gathering, slice thick portions for the lunch table, or use it as a lasting gift for a true cheese lover. By buying a whole cheese, you are assured of an authentic piece of Dutch culture and a supply of delicious cheese that you can cut and store as you wish. Moreover, the aroma and sight of a whole cheese are a delight in themselves, a true eye-catcher that invites tasting.
What is the difference between cumin cheese and clove cheese?
The biggest difference lies in the spices. Cumin cheese contains cumin seeds, which provide a warm, nutty, and slightly spicy flavour. Clove cheese (or Frisian clove cheese) contains cloves and often also cumin, resulting in a much spicier, more herbaceous, and more aromatic flavour profile.
How do I best store a whole cumin cheese or clove cheese?
A whole cheese is best stored in the refrigerator, at a temperature between 8 and 12 degrees Celsius. Wrap the cheese in special cheese paper or cling film to prevent dehydration and allow the cheese to breathe. Take the cheese out of the refrigerator about half an hour before consumption for the best taste experience.
Is whole cumin cheese or clove cheese suitable for pregnant women?
Yes, most Dutch cumin cheese and clove cheese are made from pasteurized milk and are therefore safe for pregnant women to consume. Always check the product information on the packaging or ask our staff if you are unsure.
