The rich history of Chimay cheeses
The history of the Chimay Grand Cru goes back to the year 1850. In that year, a group of monks settled in Chimay and built the Abbey of Scourmont. Around 1876, the monks started producing authentic Trappist cheese. To this day, Chimay cheese is exclusively produced with fresh regional milk and in an artisanal manner. The milk is collected from local farmers in the area, which ensures a pure and rich taste.
What makes the Chimay Grand Cru extra special is the treatment during ripening. The cheese is matured for about 4 weeks and during this time the rind is carefully washed with the original Chimay Trappist beer. This gives the cheese a unique, nutty flavor with a very subtle hint of hops and malt. The texture is wonderfully smooth and creamy. This cheese tastes fantastic on a luxurious cheese board, preferably served with a good glass of Belgian Trappist beer!
Freshly cut from the knife
At GoudaCheeseShop.com we treat this special abbey cheese with the greatest care. Only the moment you order, we cut the cheese fresh from the cheese wheel. Immediately afterwards, your piece is packed tightly and airtight in the vacuum. To optimally preserve the creamy and soft structure, we ship every order with a cooling pack. This way you get absolute top quality at home.
Frequently Asked Questions about Chimay Grand Cru
Does this cheese have a strong beer taste?
No. Although the rind is washed with Chimay beer, the cheese flavor itself is mainly very soft, creamy and mildly nutty. There is only a very slight undertone of hops and malt to be discovered, which actually makes the cheese very accessible.
Is the Chimay Grand Cru suitable for a cheese board?
Yes, certainly! Due to its soft structure and full flavor, this semi-hard pressed cheese is a perfect addition to any snack board. It contrasts beautifully with harder old cheeses or a blue-veined cheese.
How can I best store this cheese?
As long as the cheese is in the unopened vacuum, you can keep it in the refrigerator for weeks. After opening, we advise to wrap the cheese in special cheese paper, this best preserves the smooth texture.
Do you also sell other Belgian cheeses?
Absolutely! In addition to the Chimay, we have many more Burgundian cheeses from Belgium. View our complete category Belgian cheese to discover all our flavorful variants.
