The unique, sweet taste of Vlaskaas

With its full, creamy and slightly sweet taste, Vlaskaas is a true specialty within the cheese assortment. What makes this aged cheese so unique is the surprising taste experience: the cheese connoisseur immediately tastes the rich, soft flavors combined with fine notes of wood and honey. This gives the Vlaskaas an extremely pleasant and smooth mouthfeel that is unparalleled for an aged cheese.

The origin of this cheese lies in Flanders. In the past, Vlaskaas was made especially for the 'slijtfeest', the traditional harvest festival in honor of the flax harvest. During this festival full of singing and drinking, the workers were treated to thickly spread sandwiches with Vlaskaas. Today, this cheese is still made in a traditional way by cheese makers with a pure love for their profession. Vlaskaas is not only delicious on farmhouse bread, but also combines fantastically with a nice glass of wine, an old port, or a specialty beer. Moreover, the cheese is prepared with vegetarian rennet, making it suitable for a vegetarian diet.

Freshly cut for optimal quality

At GoudaCheeseShop.com, you do not order pre-packaged cheese. As soon as we receive your order for Vlaskaas, we cut your piece completely fresh. Immediately after cutting, the cheese is tightly and completely airtight vacuum-packed. To perfectly preserve the creamy structure and the unique sweet aromas, we ship the cheese cooled. This way you can enjoy the very best quality at home!
