The powerful and complex taste of Old Cumin Cheese
Cumin cheese (in Holland known as Komijnekaas) is a centuries-old, traditional specialty in the Netherlands and beloved for its nutty character. Where a young cumin cheese excels in softness, this old variant is reserved for the true lover of spice and character. Our old cumin cheese is given no less than 10 to 12 months to mature peacefully on wooden boards in the traditional cheese warehouse. This extremely long maturation process ensures that a large part of the moisture in the cheese evaporates. The result? A particularly firm, hard, and slightly dry cheese with a highly concentrated and piquant flavor.
During the artisanal preparation process in the cheese dairy, the very best cumin seeds are carefully and generously stirred through the fresh curd. Because the cheese has matured for almost a full year, the essential oils from the cumin have had an extreme amount of time to fully settle into the dairy. As a result, the aromatic, spicy flavor of the cumin is exceptionally well distributed and much more intense than in younger variants. Old cumin cheese stimulates the senses; it is a beautiful, harmonious flavor explosion in which the robust, salty cheese and the spicy cumin perfectly enhance each other. This cheese is truly fantastic to serve in small cubes or chunks with a sturdy glass of red wine or a dark specialty beer. Thanks to its hard structure, it is also ideal to grate fresh over a stew or casserole.
How do you cut a whole cheese?
Cutting a whole cheese wheel may seem like a challenge, but with the right technique it is very simple. Use a professional cheese knife with two handles or cut the cheese step by step into manageable wedges. View the image below for the best way to divide your cheese wheel, so that you always get beautiful, even pieces.
