The story behind the famous Leerdammer
Leerdammer is perhaps one of the most famous cheeses from the Netherlands. This cheese was developed in the 1970s with a clear goal in mind: to combine the taste and holes of a Swiss Emmentaler with the mild, soft texture of a Dutch Gouda cheese. That succeeded beyond expectations. The result is a unique, creamy cheese with a distinct mild, nutty, and slightly sweet flavor that is immediately recognizable.
Another striking feature of the Leerdammer is of course the large holes. These are formed naturally during the ripening process, when special lactic acid bacteria form gas bubbles in the cheese. Besides looking nice, this ripening process contributes to the wonderfully soft texture. Leerdammer is a fantastic cheese for the breakfast table, but it also melts fantastically. This makes it a favorite ingredient for a perfect grilled cheese sandwich, a creamy fondue, or a rich casserole.
Freshly cut from the knife for the ultimate cheese experience
At GoudaCheeseShop.com we stand for absolute freshness and top quality. We do not work with pre-packaged factory cheeses or slices that have been in plastic for days. Only when we receive your order, do we cut your piece of Leerdammer accurately and fresh from the large cheese block. Immediately after portioning, we pack your cheese tightly and completely airtight in a vacuum. To protect the delicate, smooth structure, we always ship your order with a cooling pack. As long as you keep the cheese unopened in the vacuum packaging, it will effortlessly stay fresh in your refrigerator for weeks!
