Description Weydeland Rijck
The Weydeland Rijck is the absolute showpiece for the connoisseur. It is not without reason that this cheese won a bronze medal at the prestigious World Cheese Championships in 2025! This masterful creation by CONO cheesemakers matures for a very long time on traditional wooden shelves, resulting in an unprecedented deep and 'rich' flavor profile. The cheese is bursting with crunchy salt and protein crystals, which melt on the tongue and leave a beautiful savory-sweet aftertaste. Thanks to the first-class North Holland meadow milk, it retains a velvety soft, smooth core despite its respectable age. A true world-class cheese.

5 Frequently Asked Questions about Weydeland Rijck
What award has the Weydeland Rijck won?
The Weydeland Rijck was proudly awarded the Bronze medal at the World Cheese Championships in 2025! A fantastic international recognition for the superior, rich taste and the crispy protein crystals of this cheese.
Why is this cheese called 'Rijck'?
The name refers to the exceptionally 'rich' (Rijck) flavor profile. Thanks to the long ripening and superior meadow milk, the cheese is packed with complex, deep flavors and crunchy crystals, providing a lush, rich mouthfeel.
What is the best way to cut this old, crumbly cheese?
Due to the long ripening and many crystals, the cheese can crumble a bit. We advise not to slice it with a cheese slicer, but to cut it into cubes with a sturdy cheese knife or simply break it off ('crumble') for the cheese board.
Is the Weydeland Rijck lactose-free?
Yes. Due to the long and slow ripening process, the milk sugars (lactose) present have been 100% naturally broken down. So you can enjoy it carefree.
Does Weydeland have more long-matured or award-winning cheeses?
Absolutely! Our assortment contains various masterpieces, such as the Weydeland Flinck and the Old or Extra Old variants. Discover the entire collection in the Weydeland Cheese category.
