The rich taste of 55 weeks maturation

Old Rotterdam is a cheese with a story and an unprecedented character. This specific variant has been given a full 55 weeks to mature in peace. During this long ripening process the cheese loses moisture, resulting in a firm, robust structure and a highly concentrated flavor. What makes this cheese extra special are the small white protein crystals that form during ripening. These crystals provide a delicious crunch in the mouth and an unparalleled taste experience.

Despite its long maturation time Old Rotterdam 55 weeks retains a remarkably smooth mouthfeel. It is powerful and piquant, but at the same time has a subtle sweetness in the background. This makes it not only perfect for a rustic sandwich, but also as the undisputed centerpiece on a luxurious cheese board. Serve it with a sturdy glass of port wine, a full red wine or a dark Rotterdam specialty beer for the ultimate culinary experience.

Freshly cut from the wheel

At GoudaCheeseShop.com we guarantee absolute top quality. As soon as your order comes in, we cut Old Rotterdam fresh from the large cheese wheel. Immediately afterwards your piece is packed tightly and completely airtight in a vacuum. To protect the perfect structure and fine crystals during transport, we always ship your cheese with a cooling pack. As a result you bring a champion cheese into your home that you can keep in your refrigerator for weeks without any problems if unopened.

Frequently Asked Questions about Old Rotterdam 55 weeks

What are the white dots in this old cheese?

The white dots in the cheese are ripening crystals. These protein crystals form naturally during the long 55-week ripening process. They provide a delicious crunchy mouthfeel and contribute to the rich, intense flavor of the cheese.

Can I still slice this old cheese well with a cheese slicer?

Although the cheese is firm and contains crystals, it is still remarkably easy to slice thanks to the sophisticated ripening process. For the best result we recommend a special cheese slicer for old cheese with a short blade, or you can crumble the cheese into rustic cubes with a cheese knife.

How do I best store this cheese?

Unopened in the vacuum packaging the cheese can easily be kept in the refrigerator for 7 to 8 weeks. After cutting it is best to wrap it tightly in special cheese paper. Store it in the vegetable drawer, then it will remain wonderfully fresh for at least 2 weeks.

Do you also sell other variants of Old Rotterdam?

Absolutely. We have various maturation times in our assortment, from slightly softer to extremely old and crumbly. View our complete category Old Rotterdam to discover your favorite.
