Description Weydeland 35+ Cumin Piquant

The Weydeland 35+ Cumin Piquant shows that low-fat cheese absolutely does not have to be bland. While the mild cumin cheese guarantees softness, this 'Piquant' variant offers an unforgettably powerful and earthy aroma. The cheese is traditionally prepared with the famous North Holland meadow milk and then ripens for about 4 months (16-18 weeks) in the tranquility of the CONO warehouses. This ripening process provides a firmer, characterful structure with the first hints of crispy protein crystals. Because it is a 35+ cheese, you benefit from a reduced fat percentage and extra protein. A robust, spicy, and wonderfully nutty delicacy for the conscious gourmet.

5 Frequently Asked Questions about Weydeland 35+ Cumin Piquant

What makes this cumin cheese 'Piquant'?

The addition 'Piquant' comes from the longer ripening time of about 4 months (16-18 weeks). Because of this, moisture evaporates and the cheese becomes firmer, saltier, and significantly more powerful in taste than a young (mild) cumin cheese.

Does the combination of cumin and 35+ make the cheese very dry?

That would be the case with many cheeses, but Weydeland uses high-quality meadow milk and a unique washing process for the curd. Because of this, the cheese remains impressively smooth despite the lower fat content and the longer ripening.

Are there already crystals in this spicy cumin cheese?

Yes, after about 4 months of ripening, the proteins in the cheese slowly start to crystallize. This provides a subtle and very tasty slight 'crunch' while eating.

Can I use this cheese for grating?

Certainly. Due to the firmer, matured structure, the 35+ Cumin Piquant is highly suitable for grating over hot dishes for a spicy, robust topping.

Do you also have a milder variant of this cheese?

Yes, if you prefer a very soft cheese, we have the Weydeland 35+ Cumin Mild (matured for approx. 8 weeks). Discover all options in the Weydeland Cheese category.
