The authentic and robust taste of Leyden Farmhouse Cheese

The Leyden Farmhouse cheese 30+ (Leidse kaas), also popularly known as Low Fat Farmhouse Cumin cheese or Key cheese, is a cheese with a story. What makes this cheese truly unique is that it is made on the farm itself from fresh, unpasteurized (raw) cow's milk. Because of this, the milk retains all its natural flavorings, resulting in a cheese with a much more powerful, fuller, and purer character than factory cheese.

During the artisanal production process on the farm, the cumin seeds are carefully stirred through the fresh curd. The cheese is then given 16 to 18 weeks to ripen peacefully on wooden boards. During this period, the spicy, nutty aromas of the cumin absorb perfectly into the dairy. The 30+ fat content provides a somewhat firmer, robust structure that is perfectly balanced with the intense, characteristic flavor. It is the perfect cheese for on farmhouse bread or to serve in cubes with a sturdy glass of wine or beer.

Freshly cut from the wheel for the ultimate cheese experience

At GoudaCheeseShop.com you are always assured of absolute top quality and unparalleled freshness. We do not pre-cut our cheese. Only when we receive your order for the Leyden farmhouse cheese, do we cut your piece accurately from the original, large farmhouse wheel. Immediately after portioning, your cheese is packed tightly and completely airtight in a vacuum. To perfectly preserve the firm texture and the rich cumin and raw milk aromas, we always ship your order with a cooling pack. Thanks to the vacuum packaging, you can keep this cheese fresh unopened in your refrigerator for weeks!

Frequently Asked Questions about Leyden Farmhouse Cheese 30+

What does 30+ mean for this Leyden cheese?

The 30+ designation indicates that the cheese consists of approximately 30% fat in the dry matter. Since the cheese also largely consists of moisture, the absolute fat percentage in the cheese is considerably lower. This makes this Leyden cheese a more conscious and leaner choice than full-fat (48+) cheeses.

Why is raw milk (unpasteurized) cheese different?

With raw milk cheese, the milk is not heated (pasteurized) during the production process. Because of this, all natural bacteria and flavor enzymes from the milk remain intact. This gives the cheese a much deeper, richer, and more powerful flavor that is truly characteristic of real farmhouse cheese.

Can I easily slice this 30+ farmhouse cheese?

Yes, the cheese has matured for 16 to 18 weeks and has a firm, supple structure. Despite the lower fat content, partly due to the artisanal preparation, it can easily be sliced into beautiful slices for bread. Preferably use a sharp cheese slicer with a short cutting blade for this.

Can pregnant women eat this cheese?

Because this cheese is made from unpasteurized (raw) milk, we recommend consulting the current guidelines of your health authorities or midwife regarding the consumption of raw milk, semi-hard cheeses during pregnancy.

low fat cumin cheese

very good cheese, maybe too hard for its ageing? Taste doesn't linger as much as "standard" cheese. Good guilt-free choice.

Excellent classic
Review by
Delicious and authentic, classic Leidse kaas. There is no substitute! It doesn't taste "low fat". 30+ is within the norms for this type of cheese. It's not supposed to be a Gouda with cumin. I'll be getting more of this.
