The secret behind Stompetoren Old

Stompetoren cheese is known in the cheese world for its absolute top quality and unique ripening process. The Stompetoren Old is prepared with high-quality, protein-rich meadow milk from the North Holland polders. However, the real secret is created in the special warehouse where the cheeses ripen. Normally, old cheese dries out significantly, making it crumbly and hard. However, Stompetoren cheeses ripen in a climate with a slightly higher temperature and a specific humidity. This gives the cheese plenty of time to develop its deep, spicy flavor and delicious protein crystals, while simultaneously retaining a surprisingly smooth (creamy) structure.

This means you can enjoy the full, robust flavor of a truly old cheese without it crumbling when you slice it with a cheese slicer. Furthermore, the Stompetoren Old is completely vegetarian due to the use of microbial (plant-based) rennet. Perfect for a luxurious cheese board with a glass of port, great on dark multi-grain bread, or grated over your favorite pasta dish.

Freshly cut from the wheel for the ultimate cheese experience

At GoudaCheeseShop.com we stand for absolute freshness. Only when we receive your order, do we cut your piece of Stompetoren Old accurately and fresh from the large cheese wheel. Immediately after portioning, we pack your cheese completely airtight in a vacuum. To optimally protect the quality and rich aromas, we always ship your order with a cooling pack. As long as you keep the cheese unopened in the vacuum packaging, it will stay in top condition in your refrigerator for weeks!

Frequently Asked Questions about Stompetoren Old

What makes Stompetoren Old different from regular old cheese?

Standard old cheese is often very hard and crumbly. Stompetoren Old ripens in a special climate, which keeps the cheese much smoother. As a result, you have the intense, spicy flavor and crystals of an old cheese, but it is still excellent for slicing without breaking into pieces.

Are there salt crystals in this cheese?

The small, white dots in the cheese are often called salt crystals, but they are actually protein crystals. These develop naturally during the long ripening process and provide a delicious 'bite' and a slight crackle on the tongue.

Is this old cheese suitable for vegetarians and pregnant women?

Yes, both! The cheese is 100% vegetarian thanks to the use of microbial rennet. In addition, it is made from pasteurized milk, making it completely safe to consume during pregnancy.

Do you also sell other maturations of Stompetoren?

Yes, certainly! In addition to this old variant, we offer the full range, including Young, Matured, and the extra long ripened Grand Cru. View our complete Stompetoren Cheese category for this.
