The monastic craft of Westmalle
The Westmalle Trappist Cheese is a rare delicacy with a special story. The monks of the Westmalle Abbey have been making this cheese since the nineteenth century. What makes this cheese extra unique is that it is still entirely produced within the abbey walls. The monks use the fresh, thermised milk from their own herd of Blaarkop cows for this. Because the cows graze outside in the spring and summer, the color and taste of the cheese vary subtly with the seasons.
This Trappist cheese is a wonderfully smooth, semi-hard cheese. The ripening process takes place in a completely natural way, without the addition of artificial colors or flavors. Furthermore, the cheese contains surprisingly little salt (only 1 percent), which creates a remarkably mild, creamy, and slightly sweet flavor. It is the perfect cheese to combine with an authentic Belgian beer, as a soft topping on a slice of fresh bread, or as a delicate addition to your cheese board.
Freshly cut from the knife for the highest quality
At GoudaCheeseShop.com we treat such a traditional regional product with the greatest care. As soon as we receive your order, we only cut the Westmalle Trappist cheese fresh from the large cheese block. Immediately afterwards, the piece is packed tightly and airtight in a vacuum. To optimally protect the delicate, creamy structure during shipping, we always send your order including a cooling pack. This allows you to bring absolute top quality into your home, which you can easily keep fresh in the refrigerator for weeks.
Frequently Asked Questions about Westmalle Trappist Cheese
What makes this cheese a real Trappist cheese?
A cheese may only bear the name Trappist cheese if it is actually produced within the walls of a Trappist abbey. The entire process takes place under the direct supervision of the monks and the proceeds partly benefit social causes. Westmalle is one of the few places where this still happens.
Is this cheese very salty?
No, absolutely not. Westmalle Trappist cheese is actually known for its extremely low salt content of only 1 percent. This emphasizes the mild, buttery flavor and also makes the cheese very suitable for people who want to watch their salt intake.
Is this cheese made from raw milk?
No, the milk is thermised. This means that the fresh milk from their own cows has been mildly heated. This is a process between raw and pasteurized. This kills any unwanted bacteria, while preserving the delicious natural aromas of the milk.
Do you also sell other Belgian cheeses?
Absolutely! In addition to this abbey cheese, we have several other delicious cheeses from Belgium. View our complete category Belgian cheese to discover all our flavorful southern neighbors.
