"Beemster" Dutch pasteurized cow's milk cheese BEEMSTER ROYAAL GRAND CRU PDO, aged for at least 10 months, is a high-quality orange hard cheese. It can be called royal due to its long aging time and wonderful nutty, slightly sweet flavor. A bit crumbly, it has visually noticeable small, round holes. Perfect for special occasions, enjoy it alone or with salami, ham, grapes, dried fruits, or nuts. It is also recommended to place it on crackers or bread with jam. This cheese was created for the Easter celebration in 2017, but due to its unique flavor and popularity, it has been included in the line of regularly produced cheeses. It received the "Super Gold" medal at the "World Cheese Awards 2017". The cows from which the cheese is made graze in the polder. This is a drained and embankment-protected lowland area in a lake delta. The milk from cows grazing in these periodically flooded areas has a distinctive taste. It is produced in the Beemster Polder region of the Netherlands according to an old recipe. Curd mixing is done by hand. These cheeses have holes that occur due to carbon dioxide released during production. You may also notice small crystals in the cheese that form as it ages. It carries the PDO (Protected Denomination of Origin) label, awarded only to products whose quality and characteristics are exclusively linked to their place of origin, with a geographical name in their title. All stages of production (from raw material production to processing) must take place in that area.
