Description Oude Meije
The Oude Meije takes its name from the idyllic, meandering Meije river, right through the Green Heart of the Netherlands. This authentic mature cheese reflects the lush nature of this region in its rich aromas. After a careful and peaceful maturation on robust wooden shelves, the Oude Meije has developed a majestic, full and spicy flavor profile. Nevertheless, it surprises the true cheese lover with an unprecedentedly smooth mouthfeel and light, refined ripening crystals that melt beautifully on the tongue.

An Ode to the Dutch Polder
The Oude Meije is not a standard mature cheese; it is a complete experience. The cheese masters have guided it with the utmost care and dedication during the lengthy maturation process. This ensures an extremely harmonious balance: the cheese is firm enough to slice into beautiful, thin slices, but rich and creamy enough for a deep, long-lasting aftertaste.
This premium mature cheese feels at home anywhere. Present it in generous cubes on an evening cheese board, accompanied by an artisanal, spicy mustard and a dark Trappist beer or full-bodied red wine. Also on a freshly toasted sandwich or grated over a hot gratin, the Oude Meije provides a delicious salty-spicy accent that instantly elevates your dish.

5 Frequently Asked Questions about Oude Meije
Where does the name 'Oude Meije' come from?
The cheese is named after the 'Meije', a picturesque and historical river that winds through the green peat meadow area in the Green Heart of the Netherlands.
Is this cheese easy to slice or does it crumble quickly?
Although it is a powerful mature cheese, the Oude Meije has retained a wonderfully smooth texture. It is therefore excellent to slice with a good cheese slicer, unlike extremely dry crumbly cheeses.
Does this mature cheese still contain a lot of lactose?
No. Due to the months-long maturation, the lactose (milk sugar) has naturally been converted into lactic acid. This makes the cheese naturally almost completely lactose-free.
Can I eat the Oude Meije during pregnancy?
Yes indeed! This mature cheese is made with pasteurized cow's milk, which means it is 100% safe to consume during pregnancy.
How should I serve this cheese?
For the best taste experience, remove the cheese from the refrigerator at least half an hour before serving. At room temperature, the deep, spicy aromas and creaminess come into their own.
