Description Mature Cumin Cheese Square

The Mature Cumin Cheese Square is a feast for the eyes and a treat for your taste buds. It's not just the unique square shape - a nod to rich Dutch cheese history - that makes this cheese special. During an intensive ripening process of almost a year, the cheese loses moisture and gains tremendously in flavor. The soft creaminess of the pasteurized milk slowly gives way to a firm texture with delicious ripening crystals. The addition of authentic cumin seeds provides a warm, nutty explosion that perfectly balances the spicy character of the mature cheese.

A Masterpiece full of Character

Square cheeses have a long tradition in Dutch cheese making and were formerly often pressed into this shape to make them easier to stack. By giving this Mature Cumin Cheese time to rest in special warehouses, an unprecedentedly firm structure is created. The cumin seeds release their essential oils over the months, infusing the cheese with a wonderful autumnal, nutty aroma.

Thanks to its complex and distinct flavor profile, this mature cumin cheese is an absolute eye-catcher. Break it into robust pieces for drinks, perfectly in harmony with a dark specialty beer, an old genever or a firm port. It is also versatile in the kitchen: grated, it gives a deep, spicy kick to your favorite stews or over a fresh carpaccio.
