Located in: Cheese, Holland

We're happy to introduce this North Holland Dutch Gouda with some new flavorful twists. Beemster has enhanced traditional Gouda with delicious spices and herbs. Some tastes are more familiar to American palates (garlic, fine herbs, and black pepper) whereas others (mustard and nettles) are delicious changes of pace. In Holland, people often spread mustard on mild cheeses to liven them up. Celebrating this tradition, Beemster with Mustard uses whole mustard seeds in its cheese. Beemster with Nettles may also be worthy of explanation. In Europe, nettles (wild herbs) are used to flavor everything from cheese to pasta sauce. These slightly bitter green herbs add interesting depth to cheese without dramatically changing its nature.

Varieties sold separately. Try them all.

Comments about Beemster with Flavors:

I was driving around Holland and found a small cheese farm that made stinging nettle cheese. The taste of the nettle cheese was so unforgettable that I always looked for it in the States and could not find it. [...] after a great deal of searching, I found it here. I have given it to many friends and they all loved this cheese. It is definitely worth the effort of spending so much time to find it.
