A Majestic Taste Experience
This 'Old Wisdom' commands respect on the cheese board. Because of the long maturation and the crumbly texture, it cannot be easily sliced. It is better to break it into robust chunks with a special cheese knife. This is the best way to do justice to the crunchy 'bite' of the crystals. Serve alongside a sweet balsamic syrup or ripe figs for a heavenly contrast.
Let your culinary creativity run wild, because in hot preparations this old Jersey cheese is a magical ingredient. Grate it coarsely over a fresh carpaccio, a refined mushroom risotto, or a gratinated onion soup. Pour a glass of heavy, wood-aged red wine or a beautiful, rich tawny port to end the evening perfectly.

5 Frequently Asked Questions about Happy Mrs. Jersey Old Wisdom - Organic Jersey Cheese
Where does the name 'Old Wisdom' come from?
The name symbolizes the 'wisdom' and patience required to let a cheese mature for a full year. It is the oldest, most experienced, and richest cheese from the Happy Mrs. Jersey family, making it a wise choice, literally and figuratively.
Why are there white dots on the cheese?
Those striking white dots are the highly coveted protein crystals. These occur naturally during the long 12-month ripening process. They give the cheese that delicious, slightly crunchy texture that is so typical of top-quality old cheese.
How does the taste differ from regular old cheese?
Jersey milk is significantly creamier and fattier than regular cow's milk. As a result, the 'Old Wisdom' does not become as tough or dry as regular old cheeses. It is exceptionally powerful, but melts surprisingly buttery soft in the mouth.
Is this very old cheese lactose-free?
Yes, 100%. During the one-year ripening process, all present milk sugars (lactose) are broken down completely naturally. People with a lactose intolerance can enjoy this without any problems.
Does the Happy Mrs. Jersey line also offer younger flavors?
Absolutely, the assortment builds up beautifully. For lovers of softer flavors there is the young 'Young Pleasure', and the medium-aged 'Pinks Enjoy'. Discover them in the Mèkkerstee Organic Cheeses category.
