The rich and warm taste of Matured Clove Cheese

Our clove cheese (Nagelkaas) is a tribute to the rich Dutch cheese tradition, with its origins in beautiful Friesland. What makes this cheese so unique is the addition of spices during the traditional preparation process. The combination of spicy cloves and slightly nutty cumin seeds creates an unparalleled flavor profile. Because this is a matured variant, the cheese has been allowed to ripen peacefully in the cheese warehouse for about 16 to 18 weeks. This long maturation time ensures that the cheese acquires a wonderfully firm structure and the essential oils of the spices fully penetrate the dairy.

The result is a robust, characterful cheese that elevates any cheese board to a higher level. Matured clove cheese is not only delicious to serve in rustic cubes with a sturdy glass of red wine or a dark specialty beer, but also slices fantastically for on a dark sandwich or a piece of rye bread. Have you ever thought about using this cheese in the kitchen? Grated matured clove cheese immediately gives warm dishes such as stews, casseroles, or a grilled cheese sandwich a wonderfully spicy and warm 'bite'.

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 cheese. Only when we receive your order for the matured clove cheese, do we cut your piece accurately from the round cheese. Immediately after portioning, your cheese is packed tightly and completely airtight in a vacuum bag. To optimally protect the firm texture and the rich spice aromas, we always ship your order with a cooling pack. This ensures you get the very best quality at home and you can keep the cheese unopened in the refrigerator perfectly fresh for weeks!

Frequently Asked Questions about Clove Cheese

What is the difference between cumin cheese and clove cheese?

Although they look alike, there is a clear difference. Cumin cheese (Komijnekaas) only contains cumin seeds. Clove cheese (Nagelkaas), on the other hand, contains real cloves in addition to cumin seeds. This gives clove cheese a much firmer, warmer, and more piquant flavor than regular cumin cheese.

Can I melt or grate this matured clove cheese well?

Yes, certainly! Because it is a matured cheese, it has a firmer structure than young cheese, making it ideal for grating. In addition, the cheese (thanks to the 48+ fat content) still melts fantastically. Ideal for gratinating casseroles.

How long can I store the ordered clove cheese?

Thanks to our professional vacuum packaging and the longer maturation of the cheese, you can store it unopened in the refrigerator for about 7 to 8 weeks. After opening, it is best to wrap the cheese in special cheese paper; the cheese will then stay good in the vegetable drawer for about 2 weeks.

Do you also sell other maturations or types of clove cheese?

Certainly. We have various delicious cheeses with cloves, from slightly softer to beautifully matured. View our complete clove cheese category to discover your favorite.

Matured Frisian Close Cheese
Review by
Awesome, as usual. If we didn't have Gouda Cheese Shop in our lives, to deliver us reliably excellent clove cheese, I think my whole family (mother, father, brother, sisters) would simply break down and cry. Price was a little costly this time because we had to go with express delivery (various country mail posts were out due to COVID-19), but we were able to get the nail cheese and everyone was happy to pay the extra price!

Thanks again GCS! :)

Great cheese. Great service!
Review by
My family and I are so happy we can buy Frisian Clove Cheese online through the Gouda Cheese shop. We have been purchasing through GCS for a few years now and the service and quality have always been excellent. This latest order was shipped to the United States (I moved) and we ordered a full round of cheese which arrived in immaculate condition. As long-standing customers we also received a little "bonus" wedge of cheese which was a surprise *and* a delight! The USD is trading higher against the Euro so I know it was a generous gift to a long-standing customer and it was VERY appreciated!

Thank you so much for your online shop, your awesome product and your excellent service. I don't know what I would do without the Gouda Cheese Shop!

Excellent service! Cheeses arrived promptly in good condition, and are delicious. My husband likes all bar the Nail Cheese, but that just means more for me. Also, when I asked a question about the origin of Nail Cheese, you kindly sent me what information you could find. Many thanks.

The Gouda Cheese Shop never fails to provide excellent cheese and excellent service. I love the fact that I can order a whole wheel of cheese from Holland and now they provide the option of having the wheel cut in quarters and vacuum-sealed, at no extra cost!!!

Great job, GCS!!! :)
