The rich taste and tradition of Old Clove Cheese

For the true enthusiast, our Frisian clove cheese is an absolute must. The characteristic taste of this specialty offers a unique experience to anyone who tastes it. Because the cheese has been allowed to mature for a long time (15 months naturally ripened), the old clove cheese has naturally become dry and hard. The taste is unsurpassed: the cumin and cloves that have been added have been able to do their work during this entire period. This gives you a robust, piquant, and spicy cheese that tastes fantastic on a rustic slice of bread with butter, or in cubes next to a good glass of beer or red wine.

When producing this special cheese, the cloves and cumin seeds are carefully mixed through the curd. After preparation, the cheese undergoes the long and careful ripening process, during which taste and texture develop optimally. A true treat and a piece of Dutch heritage!

Vacuum-packed for optimal quality

We offer the old clove cheese in various weights, so you can order exactly what you need. To optimally guarantee the quality, the firm structure, and the complex aroma, your piece of cheese is always cut fresh from the wheel and standardly packed tightly, completely airtight in a vacuum bag. During shipping, we always add a cooling pack. Thanks to this professional packaging, you can effortlessly keep the cheese in your refrigerator for weeks, provided it is unopened.

Frequently Asked Questions about Old Frisian Clove Cheese

What makes this clove cheese 'old'?

This clove cheese has been given at least 15 months to ripen naturally in our warehouse. Due to this long ripening process, the cheese loses a lot of moisture, resulting in a firm, somewhat dry, and crumbly structure with a very concentrated, piquant taste.

Are the cloves in the cheese soft enough to eat?

During ripening and due to the acids in the cheese, the cloves become softer. They give off their flavor to the cheese and can safely be eaten, although they sometimes give an extra firm 'bite' that is typical for clove cheese.

How long can I keep this cheese?

As long as your piece of cheese is in its original, unopened vacuum packaging in the refrigerator, it can certainly be kept for 7 to 8 weeks. After opening, we advise wrapping the cheese in the supplied cheese paper; thanks to its hard structure, this old cheese often stays good for weeks, although it may dry out a little further.

Great quality cheese

The cheese was absolutely delicious and it was well received by our guests, who never tasted it. Rave reviews from them. Shipping was fast. I wish you were carrying the older clove cheese, which is my favorite.

I have searched for a long time to find this cheese in the US and cannot find it. I was so pleased when I figured out they deliver to the US. Even more pleased when I found out they would ship to Alaska, something often not offered. I took a chance and ordered a wedge and it arrived, cold, delicious and on time. I could not believe it. If you are worried about your cheese arriving in good condition please don't worry. I live in one of the most remote parts of the US, Kodiak AK. If they can get it to me they can get it anywhere.
As far as the taste, the cheese was amazing, hard, savory and just like I remember from childhood. For people who have never had this cheese be sure to pick out the cloves as you go and don't eat them. This cheese is best eaten plain or on buttered bread/toast. I will 100% be ordering again (I've ordered twice) Maybe next time we'll see how a wheel comes.
