The unique taste and origin of Rubens cheese
Rubens cheese is not just any cheese. The name is a beautiful tribute to the famous Flemish baroque painter Peter Paul Rubens, who was known worldwide for his zest for life, love of voluptuous beauty and his passion for delicious food. Just like Rubens' impressive works of art, this eponymous cheese offers a rich, full and almost artistic taste experience.
The cheese is characterized by its striking round shape and beautiful burgundy-colored rind. The dairy itself is light and has a texture that is silky soft and extremely smooth, featuring small eyes (holes) that indicate the careful ripening process. The cheese ripens naturally for six weeks. During this time, subtle buttery tones and fresh accents develop, with an aftertaste that reveals a wonderfully light, roasted touch. This makes the Rubens a very accessible cheese that tastes fantastic on a fresh slice of bread, or in cubes on a luxurious cheese board accompanied by a Belgian abbey beer.
Freshly cut from the knife for optimal quality
At GoudaCheeseShop.com we treat a delicate cheese like this with the deepest respect. We do not work with pre-cut pieces of cheese that have been in plastic for weeks. Only the moment we receive your order, do we cut the cheese fresh for you. 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 guarantees absolute top quality.
Frequently Asked Questions about Rubens Cheese
Is the burgundy rind of the cheese edible?
No, the striking red/burgundy rind of the Rubens cheese is intended for protection during ripening and is not suitable for consumption. We recommend cutting it off neatly before eating.
Is this Belgian cheese suitable for vegetarians?
Yes absolutely! This cheese is prepared with microbial rennet (a plant-based alternative to animal rennet). This makes the cheese 100 percent suitable for people following a vegetarian diet.
Can I use this cheese for warm dishes?
Yes, certainly. Because it is a semi-hard cheese with a relatively high fat content (50+) and a creamy structure, the cheese melts very beautifully. You can easily use it for grilled cheese sandwiches or warm oven dishes.
Do you also sell other Belgian cheeses?
Absolutely! In addition to Rubens, we have many more delicious cheeses from our southern neighbors in our assortment. View our complete category Belgian cheese to discover all our flavorful variants.
