The soft and refined taste of Young Matured Cumin Cheese

Cumin cheese (in Holland known as Komijnekaas) is a centuries-old, traditional specialty in the Netherlands and extremely popular because of its warm and slightly nutty character. The combination of soft Gouda cheese and savory herbs is a match made in heaven. This young matured variant is perhaps the most accessible and popular within our maturation line. The cheese is given 8 to 10 weeks to mature peacefully on authentic wooden boards. This careful maturation process ensures that the cheese remains wonderfully smooth (thanks to the full-fat 48+ character), but has still developed just that little bit of extra spice and a slightly concentrated flavor compared to a very young cheese. You can taste the pure craftsmanship in every slice.

During the traditional preparation process, the very best cumin seeds are carefully stirred through the fresh curd. The moisture from the curd soaks into the seeds, so the aromatic, spicy flavor of the cumin spreads perfectly throughout the cheese. The result is a harmonious taste experience where the creamy milk and the spices enhance rather than overpower each other. Young matured cumin cheese is therefore an incredibly versatile crowd-pleaser. It slices fantastically for on a fresh slice of whole-wheat bread, melts deliciously creamy over a grilled cheese sandwich or casserole, and serves excellently as a soft and tasty cube on your cheese board. Tip: combine a cube with a touch of coarse mustard and a dark beer for the ultimate taste experience.
