The perfect mix of Gouda and Parmesan
Prima Donna Forte is the absolute crown on the Prima Donna cheese family. This cheese is distinguished by an extra long ripening time, which gives it its robust and distinctly piquant taste. What makes this cheese so special is the unique recipe: it combines the famous smoothness of a Dutch Gouda cheese with the spicy, crumbly properties of a traditional Italian Parmesan cheese.
During the ripening process, visible white dots develop in the dairy. These are protein and salt crystals, which provide a delicious 'crunch' and an extra flavor dimension. Prima Donna Forte is a fantastic cheese for a luxurious cheese board, perfect to combine with a robust red wine or a glass of port. In addition, due to its Parmesan character, the cheese is excellent for grating over hot pasta dishes, carpaccio or fresh salads.
Freshly cut from the knife for an optimal taste experience
At GoudaCheeseShop.com we treat our premium cheeses with the greatest care. We only cut your piece of Prima Donna Forte fresh from the large cheese wheel as soon as we receive your order. Almost immediately afterwards, we pack your cheese tightly and airtight in a vacuum. To protect the fragile structure and rich aromas during the journey, we always ship your order with a cooling pack. This way you bring fresh top quality into your home.
