Description Mèkkerstee Old - Organic Goat Cheese
The Mèkkerstee Old - Organic Goat Cheese is an extraordinary taste sensation for the true cheese lover. This 100% organic goat cheese, prepared at the loving care farm De Mèkkerstee in Ouddorp, is given over a year to ripen on traditional wooden shelves. During those months, the moisture evaporates and the flavors concentrate into a beautiful, robust, and slightly sweet caramel aroma. The dairy is richly provided with crunchy white protein crystals that melt on the tongue. Where many old goat cheeses become very dry or strongly 'goaty', the Mèkkerstee Old retains surprising smoothness and accessibility thanks to the pure, high-quality organic milk.

5 Frequently Asked Questions about Mèkkerstee Old - Organic Goat Cheese
Isn't this old organic goat cheese very dry and tough?
No! Although the cheese matures for no less than 10 to 12 months and acquires a delicious crumbly structure with protein crystals, it retains a fantastically soft and melting mouthfeel thanks to the superior organic goat's milk of De Mèkkerstee.
Where do the small white dots in the cheese come from?
Those small white dots are protein and salt crystals. These form naturally during the extremely long ripening process of almost a year. It is an absolute hallmark of quality and provides a highly beloved crispy texture.
Does an old goat cheese have a very strong goat smell?
The taste is powerful, spicy, and concentrated, but De Mèkkerstee cheeses are actually known for never having that overpowering, sickly 'goaty' aftertaste. This is thanks to the stress-free, animal-friendly environment and the 100% organic feed.
Is the Mèkkerstee Old lactose-free?
Yes, absolutely. Because this goat cheese has been aged for 10 to 12 months, all milk sugar (lactose) has been completely broken down naturally. You can therefore enjoy it carefree with a lactose intolerance.
Do you also have softer organic goat cheeses?
Certainly, for those who like milder flavors, we also offer the Mèkkerstee Young, Young Matured, and Matured. Discover the entire organic Mèkkerstee family in the Mèkkerstee Goat Cheese category.
