The rich taste of old Demeter cheese
This old cheese is a masterpiece for the conscious gourmet. Prepared with milk from biodynamic farms, where animal welfare and nature conservation are paramount. The cows keep their horns and graze on herb-rich meadows, which ensures an unprecedentedly rich and full milk. During cheese making, only microbial rennet is used, making the cheese 100 percent vegetarian.
After preparation, the cheese is given at least 10 months to ripen peacefully on wooden boards. This creates a robust, firm cheese with a wonderfully piquant character. The protein crystals that develop during this long ripening provide a delicious crunch with every bite. A perfect old cheese for a luxurious cheese board, with a good glass of wine or as a powerful flavor enhancer in your dishes.
Freshly cut
At GoudaCheeseShop.com we guarantee the best quality. Your old Demeter cheese is only cut fresh from the large cheese wheel as soon as we prepare your order. Afterwards we immediately pack the cheese tightly and airtight in a vacuum bag. To optimally protect the delicate structure and flavors, we always add a cooling pack to your shipment. This keeps the cheese fresh in the refrigerator for weeks.
Frequently Asked Questions about Old Biodynamic Cheese
What does the Demeter mark mean?
Demeter is the international quality mark for biodynamic agriculture. This goes further than regular organic. There are strict requirements for animal welfare, closed cycles and soil fertility. Everything is done in harmony with nature and without genetic modification (GMO-free).
Are the white dots in the cheese salt crystals?
No, these are protein crystals (ripening crystals) that naturally arise during the long ripening of old cheese. They are a sign of excellent quality and provide a wonderfully crisp texture.
Is this old cheese suitable for vegetarians?
Yes, absolutely! This cheese is curdled with vegetarian (microbiological) rennet instead of animal rennet. Because of this, it fits perfectly within a vegetarian lifestyle.
Do you sell more biodynamic cheeses?
Certainly! Discover our full range in the category Biodynamic cheese for even more flavorful variants.
