Edam is one of the most famous Dutch cheeses, traditionally produced in a ball shape 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.
Parrano is made as a modified Gouda recipe that has been changed to incorporate elements of Italian style cheesemaking. The resulting flavor and texture forms a mid ground between gouda and parmesan. Parrano has enough flavor to be appealing to a connoisseur, yet simple enough for a beginner; a real crowd pleaser.
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.

The Benefits of Shredded and Diced Cheese The convenience of cheese that is already shredded or diced for foodservice and manufacturing provides many benefits: convenience, safety, efficiency, and portion control. Shredded and diced cheese saves you time, reduces labor costs and eliminates waste associated with shredding block cheese. Its consistent cut quality provides you with greater portion control in a variety of shred and dice sizes. Beginning with only the freshest USPH Grade A milk from the farm, our cheese is made using the traditional pasta filata process to assure excellent culinary characteristics for foodservice and manufacturing environments.
The story of this extraordinary cheese began many years ago when a Dutch master cheesemaker named Pieter got lost deep in the Italian countryside. Chance brought Pieter to the home of Guiseppe Paradiso, a gracious old man who put Pieter up for the night and sent him off the next morning with homemade bread and cheese. So delightful was the cheese’s taste: smooth, buttery and popping with a refined crunch and a bold tang, that upon returning to Holland, Pieter couldn’t stop thinking about it. Pieter retuned to Italy a few years later to find out Mr. Paradiso’s cheese making secrets, but the old man had passed on. Determined to replicate the Italian flavor he loved so well, Pieter dedicated his life to perfecting his recipe. Once achieved he named his masterwork: Paradiso. Today Paradiso still holds the heart of two countries. It is made in the Italian specialty style by Dutch artisan cheesemakers using sweet, creamy milk from free-ranging cows that graze Holland’s nutrient-rich grasslands. All natural, gluten and lactose free, Paradiso is semi-firm and has a smooth, creamy texture with some characteristic crystallization throughout. Its wonderful flavor is akin to Grana Padano or Parimgiano Reggiano but with an affirmed impression of the unique Dutch landscape. * Please go to Home/Recipes/Appetizers for a recipe utilizing the Beemster Paradiso Gouda
