The unique taste of Père Joseph cheese
Père Joseph is a famous Belgian abbey cheese that originates from the rich traditions of the Abbey of Echternach. This semi-hard cheese is made with great passion from whole cow's milk. The result is a cheese with a recognizable and beloved profile. The texture is soft and creamy, while the taste offers a perfect balance between mild, slightly sweet, nutty and subtly piquant.
What makes this abbey cheese extra recognizable is its dark orange to reddish-brown rind. During the natural ripening process, the cheese is regularly washed with brine. This not only provides the characteristic color of the rind, but also contributes to the distinct aromas of the dairy. Père Joseph is a true crowd-pleaser that tastes fantastic on a fresh slice of bread, but also absolutely belongs on a rustic cheese board, accompanied by fresh fruit or a nice glass of wine or abbey beer.

Only the moment we receive your order, do we cut this cheese fresh for you from the large cheese wheel. Immediately after cutting, your piece is packed tightly and completely airtight in a vacuum. To protect the creamy texture and the subtle flavor notes during the journey, we always ship your order with a cooling pack. This ensures you receive absolute top quality at home.
