Description Mèkkerstee Italian Herbs - Organic Goat Cheese
The Mèkkerstee Italian Herbs - Organic Goat Cheese is a masterful fusion of Dutch craftsmanship and Southern European flair. This award-winning cheese is made with love at the De Mèkkerstee care farm. As soon as you cut the cheese, the delicious aromas of paprika, garlic, and basil greet you. The cheese ripens for about 8 weeks, so the dairy retains its irresistible softness, while the herbs have plenty of time to release their Mediterranean flavors. An accessible, creamy, and extremely atmospheric cheese. Completely organic and guaranteed without a strong 'goaty' aftertaste.

5 Frequently Asked Questions about Mèkkerstee Italian Herbs - Organic Goat Cheese
What herbs are exactly in the 'Italian herbs' mix?
The 1% organic herb blend in this cheese includes paprika, onion, garlic, basil, oregano, and thyme. This provides the recognizable, savory, and slightly sweet Mediterranean scent and taste.
Can I use this spicy goat cheese in hot dishes?
Absolutely! Because it is a young matured cheese (matured for about 8 weeks), it melts fantastically. It is a great, flavorful addition to pizzas, lasagnas, or gratin vegetable dishes.
Doesn't the goat flavor overpower the herbs?
Certainly not. De Mèkkerstee cheeses are actually known for their particularly soft, mild, and pure taste, without an overpowering 'goaty' smell. This allows the Italian herb mix to shine beautifully in the creamy base.
Is this goat cheese fully vegetarian and organic?
Yes, the cheese is prepared with 100% organic goat's milk from our own care farm and curdled with vegetarian (microbial) rennet. Pure nature and suitable for vegetarians.
Does De Mèkkerstee have other flavors besides Italian herbs?
Yes! Do you like spicy variations? Try the Mèkkerstee Fenugreek (with a nutty taste) or the Honey Clover. You can find them all in the Mèkkerstee Goat Cheese category.
