Description Mèkkerstee Neeltje Wild Garlic - Organic Goat Cheese

The Mèkkerstee Neeltje Wild Garlic - Organic Goat Cheese is a true discovery for gourmets. Where the regular 'Neeltje' from De Mèkkerstee is already praised for its exceptionally soft, smooth character thanks to its small size (a 4-kilo cheese wheel), this variant adds a beautiful herbal dimension to it. 1% organic wild garlic (ramsons) has been added to the curd. This wild herb, part of the chive and garlic family, gives the soft goat cheese a mild, onion and garlic-like flavor without the sharpness of real garlic. Prepared at the loving care farm in Ouddorp with 100% organic meadow milk. A pure, vegetarian spring delicacy that brightens up any cheese board.

A Spicy Spring Surprise

The Neeltje Wild Garlic comes into its own fantastically when you cut it into small, bite-sized cubes for drinks. The mild garlic touch of the wild garlic requires little else; serve it pure or with some light crackers and a fruity white wine, such as a crisp Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc.

In the kitchen, this soft herb cheese is just as versatile. Melt it in a robust farmer's omelet, shave it over a carpaccio, or use the cheese in a well-filled fresh spring salad. Because the goat flavor and the wild garlic are so beautifully balanced, it gives every dish a surprising, savory boost without overpowering it.

5 Frequently Asked Questions about Mèkkerstee Neeltje Wild Garlic - Organic Goat Cheese

What exactly is wild garlic (daslook)?

Wild garlic (ramsons or 'daslook') is an aromatic wild plant that grows in the spring. It is a relative of the onion and chives. The leaves give off a subtle, fresh garlic and onion flavor, but are much milder and more elegant than regular garlic cloves.

Does the cheese taste very sharply of garlic?

No, absolutely not. Wild garlic is naturally much more subtle than regular garlic. In combination with the soft, creamy organic goat's milk, a perfect balance is created. You taste a pleasant savory accent, without it burning or becoming sharp.

Why is this cheese sold as a 'Neeltje'?

Neeltje is the name for the special, smaller cheese wheels (4 kilos) at De Mèkkerstee. Because the cheese is smaller, the ripening process takes place in a different, softer way. As a result, the dairy remains exceptionally smooth and creamy compared to large cheeses.

Is the cheese suitable for pregnant women and vegetarians?

Yes, the cheese is prepared with pasteurized milk, making it safe to consume during pregnancy. In addition, it is made exclusively with microbial (vegetarian) rennet.

Does De Mèkkerstee have other small 'Neeltje' cheeses?

Yes, indeed! In addition to the Neeltje with wild garlic, we also have the natural Mèkkerstee Neeltje in our assortment for lovers of a pure, mild goat cheese. Discover the full range in the Mèkkerstee Goat Cheese category.
