Description Mèkkerstee Young Matured - Organic Goat Cheese
The Mèkkerstee Young Matured - Organic Goat Cheese is an absolute favorite for those who love goat cheese with flavor, but without it becoming too overpowering. At the De Mèkkerstee care farm in Ouddorp, the goats receive exclusively organic feed and the best care. You can taste that immediately! This cheese matures for over two months on wooden shelves. Because of this, some moisture evaporates, deepening the flavors and giving the cheese a rounder, slightly fuller profile compared to the young variant. It still slices fantastically smoothly and is naturally prepared 100% organically with vegetarian rennet. Pure, honest, and unprecedentedly creamy.

Round Flavor for Every Moment
Thanks to its slightly firmer structure, the Mèkkerstee Young Matured is fantastic to shave or slice. Place it generously on an artisanal dark sandwich or a crunchy cracker. Add a little fig jam or fresh cress, and you have a delicious responsible lunch.
In addition, this cheese comes into its own exceptionally well in hot dishes. Melt it subtly in a spinach quiche, or crumble it over a warm beet salad with roasted pine nuts. The slightly riper, nutty aftertaste effortlessly lifts every meal to a higher level. Serve with a light rosé or a fresh wheat beer.

5 Frequently Asked Questions about Mèkkerstee Young Matured - Organic Goat Cheese
What is the difference between Mèkkerstee Young and Young Matured?
The Young goat cheese matures for 4 weeks and is very mild. The Young Matured variant matures more than twice as long (8 to 10 weeks). This creates a slightly firmer cheese with a rounder, fuller flavor and a light bite, without losing its characteristic creaminess.
Why is the organic goat cheese from De Mèkkerstee so popular?
De Mèkkerstee in Ouddorp is a care farm where animal welfare and craftsmanship are paramount. The goats are given plenty of space, organic feed, and loving care. This stress-free environment results in superior milk and an extremely soft, accessible cheese flavor without a 'goaty' smell.
Is the cheese suitable for a vegetarian diet?
Yes, all our cheeses from De Mèkkerstee are made exclusively with vegetarian (microbial) rennet, making them 100% suitable for vegetarians.
What is the best way to cut or shave this goat cheese?
Because this Young Matured variant is still wonderfully smooth, it is best to cut it straight from the refrigerator with a sharp cheese slicer or a knife suitable for softer cheeses.
Are there other maturation times available besides Young Matured?
Certainly, for lovers of even more spice and firmness, we also offer the Matured and Old variants, as well as various herb cheeses. Discover the entire organic Mèkkerstee line in the Mèkkerstee Goat Cheese category.
