The salty secret of the Wadden Sea

The Zilte Duinkaas is the true pride of Cheese Farm De Zeekraal, located on the beautiful island of Terschelling. What makes this cheese so incredibly special is the combination of milk types. The cheese is made from a perfect blend of organic sheep milk and organic cow milk. Both types of milk are processed directly on the farm and are completely raw (unpasteurized). Because the milk is not heated, all natural, rich aromas and enzymes from the salty meadow grass are preserved.

This artisanal process results in a distinct island flavor. With the first bite you taste a delicious, soft creaminess thanks to the 48+ fat content. This flows beautifully into a characteristic, slightly salty and earthy taste that immediately reminds you of the dunes and the sea breeze of the Wadden Islands. In addition, the cheese is curdled with a GMO-free, vegetarian (microbial) rennet. This makes the cheese not only a culinary delight, but also a responsible choice for vegetarians. Serve the cheese in rustic cubes as a snack, on a fresh slice of farmhouse bread or as a surprising addition to a fresh salad.

Freshly cut for optimal quality

At GoudaCheeseShop.com we ensure that this delicate natural product arrives to you in perfect condition. We only cut the Zilte Duinkaas fresh from the large cheese wheel the moment we process your order. We then immediately pack your piece tightly and completely airtight in a vacuum. To protect the delicate taste of the raw milk and the soft texture, we always ship your package with a cooling pack. This way you get the very best freshness at home and you can easily store the cheese unopened in the refrigerator for weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions about Zilte Duinkaas

What makes this cheese so unique in taste?

The unique taste is due to the special blend of raw sheep milk and raw cow milk. Both come from organically kept animals that graze in the salty sea air of Terschelling. Because the milk is unpasteurized, you can really taste the pure nature and the salty dunes in the cheese.

Is this cheese suitable for pregnant women?

No. Because the Zilte Duinkaas is prepared with raw, unpasteurized milk, eating this cheese during pregnancy is not recommended as a precaution.

Is this cheese suitable for a vegetarian diet?

Yes absolutely. During preparation, only vegetarian rennet was used that is completely GMO-free. So no animal rennet is used.

Do you also sell other cheeses from the Wadden Islands?

Absolutely! We have a beautiful range of island cheeses. View our complete Cheese Farm De Zeekraal category to discover all our tasteful variants from Terschelling.
