Description Gooische Pikante

The Gooische Pikante is a true crown jewel among Dutch cheeses. Inspired by the luxury of the Dutch 'Gooi' region, this cheese offers an unprecedented taste sensation. It ripens peacefully on wooden shelves, resulting in a firm, characterful cheese that is richly studded with the beloved white ripening crystals. Despite its spicy and mature character, the Gooische Pikante is remarkably creamy and surprisingly easy to slice. A true treat for lovers of mature cheese with a slightly sweet undertone.

A real pampering cheese for everyday use or special occasions.

Thanks to its versatile profile, the Gooische Pikante steals the show on any cheese board, especially when served with a dab of fig dip or apple syrup. Fancy a culinary upgrade? Grate this cheese generously over fresh pasta or a rich salad for an instant flavor explosion. Pair it with a heavy dark beer or a robust red wine, and the evening is complete.

5 Frequently Asked Questions about Gooische Pikante

Why are there white 'dots' or crystals in the cheese?

During maturation, proteins and salts crystallize together. These crunchy white ripening crystals are completely natural, give the cheese a fantastic structure and are highly appreciated by cheese lovers!

Can I eat Gooische Pikante when pregnant?

Yes, this cheese is made with pasteurized cow's milk, which kills any harmful bacteria. You can therefore safely enjoy it during your pregnancy.

How do I best store this mature cheese?

Store the cheese chilled (preferably at the bottom of the fridge). After opening the vacuum packaging, it is best to wrap it in the cheese paper provided. This allows the cheese to 'breathe' and prevents it from drying out or molding.

Is Gooische Pikante suitable for vegetarians?

No. Animal rennet is used in the preparation of Gooische Pikante, which makes it unsuitable for a strict vegetarian diet.

Does this cheese melt well for hot dishes?

Despite its older age, this cheese is surprisingly creamy and sliceable. It therefore melts better than an extra-matured crumbly cheese and is fantastic for grating over hot dishes such as casseroles or toasted sandwiches.
