Description Weydeland 48+ Matured
The Weydeland 48+ Matured is a true treat for lovers who are looking for character without sacrificing creaminess. Made by the master cheesemakers of CONO in the Beemster polder, this cheese matures for about 16 to 18 weeks in a climate-controlled warehouse. Where a standard matured cheese often becomes a bit stiffer, the Weydeland retains its famous buttery soft texture thanks to the premium North Holland meadow milk. A perfectly balanced cheese, rich in taste with a pleasant piquant edge.

A Versatile Seasoning
Thanks to the four months of ripening, this matured cheese has gained enough body to really stand out in your dishes. The proteins have partially started to crystallize, which ensures a delicate 'crystal' in the dairy that melts on your tongue. The Weydeland 48+ Matured still cuts fantastically smooth, making it ideal for the daily sandwich.
But even beyond breakfast, this cheese is a star. Shave thick curls over an arugula salad, melt it over a casserole, or serve robust cubes on the cheese board accompanied by a dab of coarse mustard and a sturdy glass of bock beer or a full-bodied red wine.

5 Frequently Asked Questions about Weydeland 48+ Matured
How long is the Weydeland 48+ Matured ripened?
This cheese matures in the ripening warehouse for about 4 months (approximately 16 to 18 weeks). This is exactly long enough to develop a full, slightly spicy flavor, without the cheese losing its creaminess.
Is this cheese suitable for vegetarians?
Yes, all our Weydeland cheeses are prepared with vegetarian rennet. This makes the cheese 100% suitable for a vegetarian diet.
What is the difference between Young Matured and Matured?
A 'Young Matured' cheese generally matures for 8 to 10 weeks and is primarily soft and mild. This 'Matured' variant matures more than twice as long (16-18 weeks), causing the moisture to evaporate further and the flavor to become significantly more intense and robust.
How can I best store this matured cheese?
Because we cut the cheese fresh from the knife and tightly vacuum-pack it, it can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 60 days in unopened packaging. After opening, we advise storing the cheese in the supplied cheese paper to prevent drying out.
Do you have more variants of Weydeland cheese?
Absolutely! The assortment ranges from extremely creamy Grass cheese to crumbly extra old cheese, plus a low-fat (35+) variant. You can find the entire collection in the Weydeland Cheese category.
