Description
Beemster Classic is the signature Dutch aged Gouda, revered for its rich, nutty flavor and firm, crystalline texture. Aged for 18 months in traditional 100-year-old warehouses, this premium cheese develops deep notes of toasted walnuts, brown butter, and caramel. The unique slate-blue clay soil of the Beemster Polder produces nutrient-dense grass, resulting in exceptionally creamy milk that shines through in every bite. Perfect for an elegant cheese board, it pairs beautifully with full-bodied wines, craft beers, or sweet accompaniments like dates and honey. A sophisticated choice for family gatherings, wine tastings, or a gourmet snack.
