The mature and powerful taste of 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 authentic Gouda cheese and savory spices is a resounding success. Where a young cumin cheese mainly excels in softness, with this matured variant you truly choose character. The cheese is given 16 to 25 weeks to mature peacefully on the wooden boards in the cheese warehouse. This careful, long maturation process ensures that the cheese becomes slightly firmer and develops a lot of extra spice. It is a truly mature cheese, but still retaining that smooth 48+ character.

During the traditional preparation process, the cumin seeds are carefully and generously stirred through the fresh curd. Because the cheese matures longer, the essential oils from the cumin have had extra time to absorb into the dairy. As a result, the aromatic, spicy flavor of the cumin is exceptionally well distributed throughout the cheese. The result is a beautiful, harmonious taste experience in which the piquant cheese and the nutty spices perfectly enhance each other. Matured cumin cheese is therefore the ideal cheese for the true enthusiast. It tastes fantastic on a sturdy slice of farmhouse bread, is delicious to eat pure as a snack, and lifts a spicy casserole to an even higher level.

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 matured cumin cheese, do we cut your piece accurately and freshly from the knife from a large, round cheese. Immediately after cutting, your cheese is packed tightly and completely airtight in a vacuum. To perfectly preserve the firm texture and the rich aromas of the cumin, we ship your order standard with a cooling pack. This way you are guaranteed to get the very best quality at home. And the big advantage of this professional packaging? As long as you keep the vacuum bag unopened in the refrigerator, the cheese will remain optimally fresh for at least 7 to 8 weeks!

 

Frequently Asked Questions about Matured Cumin Cheese

What is the difference between young matured and matured cumin cheese?

The difference lies purely in the maturation time. Young matured cumin cheese ripens for 8 to 10 weeks and is mainly still very soft. Matured cumin cheese ripens considerably longer, namely 16 to 25 weeks. Because of this, matured cheese is slightly firmer in structure and significantly more piquant and fuller in flavor.

Is cumin cheese the same as Leyden cheese (Leidse kaas)?

They are similar due to the addition of cumin, but they are not the same. Our Gouda cumin cheese is a full-fat cheese (48+) that, despite its maturation, is still wonderfully smooth. Real Leyden cheese is often a much lower-fat cheese (such as 30+), making it significantly drier and harder in structure.

Can I easily grate or melt matured cumin cheese?

Yes, certainly! Because matured cheese is slightly firmer than young cheese, it is actually fantastic to grate. Perfect for over a casserole or pasta. When heated, the cheese will also melt wonderfully and beautifully release its warm cumin flavor.

How long can I keep this cumin cheese?

Thanks to our vacuum packaging and because the cheese has already matured a little further, you can safely keep the cheese unopened in the refrigerator for 7 to 8 weeks. After opening, it is best to wrap it in cheese paper; you can then enjoy it for another 2 to 3 weeks in the vegetable drawer.

Do you sell more types of cumin cheese?

Absolutely! We have a very wide selection for every taste. From extra soft young cumin cheese to the very piquant and dry old cumin cheese. Feel free to view our complete category with cumin cheese to find your favorite.
