The rich taste of the farm in Montfoort
Le Petit Doruvael is a true pearl among Dutch cheeses. This cheese is made with a lot of love and craftsmanship at the Vlooswijk cheese farm in Montfoort (Utrecht). What makes this cheese so special is that it is one of the few original Dutch washed rind (red smear) cheeses. During ripening in moist cellars, the cheese is regularly washed with a special red smear culture. This creates the characteristic orange-red rind and the distinct, full aroma.
Beneath the striking rind lies an exceptionally soft and smooth dairy that almost melts on the tongue. The taste is mild, creamy and has a very slight sweetness. It is the perfect star for a luxurious cheese board, delicious on a fresh piece of baguette, but due to its perfect melting properties also highly recommended in a creamy cheese fondue or over a warm casserole.
Freshly cut from the knife for the highest quality
At GoudaCheeseShop.com we treat a local specialty like this with the greatest care. As soon as we receive your order, we cut Le Petit Doruvael fresh from the whole cheese block. Immediately afterwards, the piece is packed tightly and airtight in a vacuum. To optimally protect the delicate, soft structure and the rich red smear aromas during shipping, we always send your order including a cooling pack. This allows you to bring absolute top quality into your home.
Frequently Asked Questions about Le Petit Doruvael
What does the name Doruvael stand for?
The striking name Doruvael is actually an abbreviation. It stands for: Door Ruilverkaveling Ontstaan Van Uitstekende Afkomst En Lekker (Created due to land consolidation, of excellent origin and tasty). A nod to the history of the farm and this unique cheese.
Is the orange rind of this cheese edible?
Yes, the washed rind is certainly edible and gives the cheese just that extra bit of flavor and character. However, it is a matter of personal taste: if you find the taste of the rind too intense, you can simply cut it off.
Can I use this cheese for cooking?
Absolutely! Because the cheese is full-fat (50+) and very soft in structure, it melts excellently. Try it on a grilled cheese sandwich, in a pasta sauce or as part of a tasty cheese fondue.
