Description Mèkkertaler - Organic Goat Cheese
The Mèkkertaler - Organic Goat Cheese is an extraordinary specialty from the care farm De Mèkkerstee. This cheese is prepared in its very own way, with a special (propionic acid) bacterial culture that ensures the characteristic large, round holes in the dairy during the ripening process. This not only gives the cheese a beautiful, playful appearance but also deeply influences the taste! The Mèkkertaler distinguishes itself with a wonderfully sweet, buttery soft, and unmistakably nutty aroma. It combines the fresh creaminess of 100% organic goat's milk with the rich depth of an Alpine cheese with holes. A pure, vegetarian delicacy that cannot be compared to anything else.

A Playful Cheese with Holes
As soon as you cut the Mèkkertaler, it's a party on the table. The striking large holes make this a playful cheese to serve on an extensive tapas board. It cuts and slices effortlessly and combines fabulously well with fresh grapes, a light floral honey, or crunchy walnuts.
Did you know that the Mèkkertaler is also the ultimate melting cheese? Use it in an authentic, silky-smooth cheese fondue for an unparalleled sweet-nutty character. This cheese with holes also provides a golden, crispy, and flavorful crust over a homemade casserole or a luxury croque-monsieur. Pour a fruity Riesling or a smooth Merlot with it and enjoy.

5 Frequently Asked Questions about Mèkkertaler - Organic Goat Cheese
How do those large holes get into the Mèkkertaler?
During preparation, the cheesemakers add a special bacterial culture (propionic acid bacteria). While ripening in the warehouse, these bacteria produce small amounts of carbon dioxide gas. This gas cannot escape from the cheese, causing large air bubbles (holes or 'eyes') to slowly form.
What does the name 'Mèkkertaler' refer to?
The name is a nod to the famous Emmentaler cheese from Switzerland, which is also known for its large holes and sweet-nutty flavor. 'Mèkkertaler' is basically the organic goat cheese version of this Alpine classic!
What does this goat's milk cheese with holes taste like?
It tastes significantly different from regular goat cheese. The special preparation method gives it a buttery soft, quite sweet, and strongly nutty character. In addition, it completely lacks the pungent 'goaty' smell, making it accessible to almost everyone.
Is the cheese suitable for melting (such as in fondue)?
Absolutely! In fact, cheeses prepared in this way (with propionic acid) are among the very best melting cheeses in the world. The Mèkkertaler is therefore fantastic for a luxurious, velvety soft cheese fondue.
Are there other organic specialties from De Mèkkerstee?
Certainly, we offer a whole range, varying from the Mèkkerstee Young to the extremely robust Old variant, or with herbs such as fenugreek. View the entire range in the Mèkkerstee Goat Cheese category.
