The salty, powerful taste of Terschelling
For the true lover of firm and spicy cheeses, the Old Organic Sheep Dune Cheese is an absolute treat. This special, organic cheese is prepared with a lot of love and craftsmanship at cheese farm De Zeekraal, beautifully situated in the east of Terschelling. The secret of the unique taste lies in the milk. The sheep graze almost all year round on herb-rich plots between the Wadden dike and the dunes. The salty sea air and the variety of grasses give the fresh sheep milk a very distinct and characteristic aroma.
After the traditional preparation, the cheese gets the rest it deserves. For at least 8 months, this cheese matures under perfect conditions. This creates the firm, slightly crumbly structure that is characteristic of a beautiful old cheese. The taste develops into a powerful, spicy whole with deliciously light notes of caramel and that subtle, salty undertone of the Wadden coast. The natural and organic production process ensures a pure and authentic cheese experience that comes into its own on a luxurious cheese board or with a sturdy glass of wine.
Freshly cut for optimal quality
At GoudaCheeseShop.com we treat such an exclusive island cheese with the utmost respect. We do not work with pre-cut and packaged pieces. Only when we receive your order, do we cut your cheese fresh from the round cheese wheel. Almost immediately after, the piece is packed tightly and completely airtight in a vacuum. To perfectly protect the delicate structure and the rich, old aromas during the journey, we always ship your cheese including a cooling pack. This ensures that you get absolute top quality at home, which you can easily keep in your refrigerator for weeks without opening it.
Frequently asked questions about Old Sheep Dune Cheese
Is this old sheep cheese also vegetarian?
Yes, absolutely! In addition to the fact that the milk is of organic origin, this cheese is exclusively made with vegetarian rennet (GMO free). So no animal rennet is used, making the cheese one hundred percent suitable for vegetarians.
What is the best way to cut this cheese?
Because this cheese has matured for 8 months, it is firm and can be slightly crumbly. It is possible to use a cheese slicer with a short, sharp blade, but it is often easier and more beautiful to break the cheese into rustic, coarse pieces or cubes with a sturdy cheese knife. Perfect for a cheese board!
How long can I keep the cheese at home?
Thanks to our tight vacuum packaging, you can safely store the cheese (as long as it is unopened) in your refrigerator for seven to eight weeks. Have you cut the cheese? Then wrap it well in cheese paper, after which you can certainly enjoy it for another one to two weeks.
Do you also sell other cheeses from cheese farm De Zeekraal?
Yes, certainly! We have various delicious cheeses from this beautiful company on Terschelling. From younger sheep cheeses to variants with seaweed. View our complete category Cheese Farm De Zeekraal to discover your favorite.
