Description Weydeland 48+ Old

The Weydeland 48+ Old is the ultimate proof of artisanal patience. It takes no less than 52 weeks of ripening on traditional wooden boards before this cheese can bear the 'Old' stamp. Throughout that entire year, a large part of the moisture evaporates, strongly concentrating the flavors and making the cheese deliciously piquant and rich. You will find crunchy white salt and protein crystals throughout the dairy. Yet, you will notice that the special North Holland meadow milk has done its job: the cheese still melts away pleasantly soft and creamy on the tongue. A true delicacy for the connoisseur.

The King of the Cheese Board

With its full character and slight crumbliness, you best cut this old cheese into robust cubes or break it into pieces. It is the absolute star of your cheese board, especially in combination with a sweet fig dip, coarse mustard, or candied ginger.

In addition, due to its firm structure, this cheese is fantastic for grating. A generous layer of grated Weydeland Old effortlessly elevates a fresh pasta, risotto, or carpaccio to a Michelin-star level. Serve with a heavy, wood-aged red wine or a vintage port for the perfect pairing.

5 Frequently Asked Questions about Weydeland 48+ Old

Exactly how long has this old cheese been ripened?

This cheese is aged in the ripening warehouse for 1 full year (52 weeks / 12 months). Because of this extensive process, the cheese loses a lot of moisture, which provides the concentrated taste and firm, crumbly texture.

Can I easily slice this old cheese with a cheese slicer?

Because the cheese has ripened for a year, it has become quite hard and crumbly. We therefore advise cutting the cheese into cubes or breaking it with a sturdy cheese knife, rather than trying to slice it.

Does this old cheese contain lactose?

No. Because the cheese has ripened for 12 months, all milk sugar (lactose) has naturally broken down completely. You can therefore safely eat this cheese if you have a lactose intolerance.

Is this cheese suitable for a vegetarian diet?

Yes, exclusively vegetarian (microbial) rennet is used for the entire Weydeland line.

Are there cheeses that are even older than this one?

Yes, indeed! For those who love an even more extreme taste experience, we also offer the Weydeland Extra Old and Crumbly cheese (ripening times increasing up to 2 to 3 years). Discover the entire range in the Weydeland Cheese category.
