Young cumin cheese

Young cumin cheese:
Cumin cheese, is available in many varieties from young to very old. This young cumin cheese has a nice and soft taste. Due to the fat content of 48+ (full fat), the cheese retains its soft structure and remains easy to cut. The cumin has been stirred into the curd during the making of the cheese, so that this delicious mild flavor can be found throughout the cheese. A delicious cheese of the highest quality, combined with a creamy character and mild taste. The cheese is matured naturally for 8-10 weeks.

Gouda cheese:
A Gouda cheese has the shape of a wheel, weighs between 1 and 16 kg and has a
fat content of at least 48%.
The species owes its name Gouda cheese to the fact that it has been traded in Gouda for centuries.

Our Gouda cheese:
After skimming and pasteurisation, at De Graafstroom cheese factory in Bleskensgraaf in South Holland, we add rennet and lactic acid to the milk. This gives our cheese its delicious taste. The thick mass that is then created is called curd. By stirring and cutting it, a liquid is released, the 'whey', which is used as an ingredient for high-quality infant nutrition. Then we put the curds in the cheese mold and press them together to get the perfect cheese shape. The cheeses become really tasty in the brine bath, here they can soak in the characteristic (salt) cultures of De Graafstroom. After brining, our cheeses are given a protective layer, so that they lose less moisture and the quality is preserved. Then the cheeses are allowed to ripen on original wooden shelves in the cheese warehouse, before they go to the store and end up in our kitchen.

Our creamy young cheese, soft young matured, creamy matured and spicy old cheese are all delicious and healthy: We strive for the lowest possible fat and salt content in our characterful cheeses. We call this 'cheese from the heart'; cheese prepared with great care, passion and love with the milk of the best cows from the Groene Hart and surroundings.
