Beemster Classic cheese is aged eighteen months to give you even more of the signature nutty and butter-rich flavor profiles you expect from mature Gouda cheeses. These cheese wheels are aged with a century's old process on specially tempered Beemster aging planks. The result is a firm texture, velvety mouth-feel, and complex flavor like no other. Serving Ideas Serve with smoked almonds, juicy red grapes, dates. Excellent with tomato - whether fresh, roasted or sauce, Beemster Aged is an excellent match. Dice and add to salads, especially good with kale. Beverage Pairings Enjoy with hoppy, bitter craft beers. Pair with robust reds, such as Super Tuscans, CA Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec or full-bodied whites, like a bold Chardonnay. Try as part of a cheese course with ruby Port.
