Edam is one of the most famous Dutch cheeses, traditionally produced in a ball shaoem but now also produced in an easier to handle loaf. It is named after the small Dutch town of Edam where it was first produced. Now produced all over Holland, Edam is a young, mild cheese that is somewhat spicier than mild Gouda.
The standard bearer of French soft-ripened cheeses is Brie, a creamy cow’s milk cheese. Friendship Brie features a white rind and a cream-colored, buttery, soft interior that oozes when at the peak of ripeness and temperature. This soft cow’s milk cheese has an ash white surface mold and a butterfat content of at least 40%. Packed in convenient tins, these individual portions are perfect for entertaining and snacking!
With its distinctive red wax rind, Gouda is the most famous Dutch cheese. It is made from pasteurized cow milk cheese and has a characteristic light orange texture dotted with tiny holes. Red wax Gouda has a mild, nutty flavor that is quite similar to edam but with a slightly creamier paste.
Beemster Vlaskaas is a new addition to Beemster`s line of premium Dutch cheeses, but it has the oldest cheese recipe. This delightfully sweet and creamy cheese was once made only during the harvest festival of the flax for the workers. Vlaskaas became the centerpiece of the entire harvest festival. Gold Medal winner at the 2004 Wisconsin Cheese Makers Competition and 3rd place in the overall competition! Aged around 5 months.

Now we`re talkin`! Beemster Classic (aged 18-months) is considered the classic Dutch cheese throughout Holland. Its complex flavors develop slowly as it matures for a year and a half in our 100+ year-old traditional warehouse. A firm texture with some crystallization, a deep ochre interior, notes of toasted walnuts, and a brown-butter finish equal perfection!
A staple of all gourmet cheese boards, and an ideal cheese for culinary & everyday occassions, Gruyère AOP takes on extremely noble notes when aged to full maturity. Le Gruyère AOP 11 months from the Cavern range is a deliciously full-bodied cheese distinguished from its milder version by a distinctive crystalline crunch, a hard crumbly and grainy texture.
