 | Over twenty years ago, we had a request from the man who originated "The Cellar" at Macy's. "I want the Dutch Goat cheese I tasted when I was in Holland," he said. We took a trip to Amsterdam and inquired on his behalf to all of our suppliers and any cheese producers we could find. We had no success. There was not an ounce of Dutch goat cheese anywhere! Two decades since that adventure, Dutch goat cheese is still a rarity, except, that is, for Goat Gouda. A few entrepreneurial Dutchmen discovered that Gouda, the cheese people most commonly associate with Holland, could be made from goat's milk as well. Goat Gouda has proven wildly popular in Europe and is starting to turn heads here in the States, too. This satiny, bright white cheese is now manufactured by several Dutch cheese producers, but in our opinion, our Chevre Blanc brand is the best Goat Gouda around. If you like goat cheese, we strongly suggest you try this tangy, satiny, mouth-watering gem.Made from pasteurized goat's milk.Photo depicts whole 10 lb. form of cheese.We cut and wrap this item by the 1/2 pound.Please contact us if you would like to purchase the whole form. |   |  |

 | The vast majority of Dutch cheeses are Goudas or Gouda-type cheeses, but that does not mean they are all alike. Our Dutch Cheese assortment of gourmet cheeses will show just that; we have selected 4 cheese that vary greatly in their appearance, texture and flavor. Reypenaer (8 oz.) - an award winning 1 year old Gouda that has already a lot of aging flavor. Leyden Cheese (6 oz.) - a very traditional Dutch cheese with cumin and caraway. This cheese has traditionally a red rind. Cablanca (8 oz.) - a more modern version of a gouda-type cheese, made with goat's milk. Not a very known Dutch cheese, but worthy of some attention as this gourmet cheese is very creamy and a great cheese to acquire a taste for goat's milk cheese. Roomkaas (8 oz.) - if one cheese is creamy it is this one. You can cut it with a cheese slicer or an normal knife, but when it is at roomtemperature it becomes very decadent. We pack these four Dutch cheeses in a beautiful glossy Burgundy Gift Box with a sparkling golden ribbon. Please note that we will substitute any item that is temporarily out of stock with a similar item of equal or greater value. | | |

 | On our last trip to Holland, one of our Dutch suppliers informed us that Holland is the one of the most densely populated countries in Europe. This fact, combined with the fact that thirty percent of the land in The Netherlands is under sea-level, makes organic agriculture particularly vital for this country, considering that traditional agriculture is one of the biggest polluters of inland waterways. This cheese is very similar to our Farmer Gouda in type, age, and flavor. It is, however, made from organic milk, sourced from cows that are not given any antibiotics, hormones, or growth factors. They graze on fields and eat grains that have not been treated with chemical fertilizers, herbicides, or pesticides. The natural goodness of the Dutch countryside shines through in the resulting cheese.Made from pasteurized cow's milk.Photo depicts whole 6 lb. form of cheese.We cut and wrap this item by the 1/2 pound.Please contact us if you would like to purchase the whole form. | | |

 | There's more than cheese in Gouda! The Dutch town is also home to a lesser well-known yet equally glorious treat - the Stroopwafel. Stroopwafels are syrup (stroop) waffles made with two paper-thin coaster sized disks sandwiched together with a layer of cinnamon-caramel syrup. Stroopwafels Dutch Cookies are delicious with a touch of whipped cream, a scoop of ice cream and perfect served with coffee or tea. For a real treat place a stroopwafel on top of a cup of coffee or tea and allow the Dutch Waffle cookie to warm a bit - just enough to soften the caramel filling. Stroopwafels will keep for a month in the cookie jar - longer if refrigerated or frozen. | | |

 | Named after a town in East Prussia, Tilsit was invented by homesick Dutch immigrants trying to recreate Gouda. Due to various factors, they were unable to recreate their beloved cheese. What they did create was a brand new cheese they named Tilsit. Tilsit is made from partially skimmed pasteurized cow's milk and is semi-firm with a springy texture, dotted with irregularly spaced tiny holes. It was traditionally made in large wheels, but is now made in loaf form, making it easier to slice (the way it is generally eaten). The rind is washed and brushed regularly for the first two months of aging to form an outer crust that keeps its supple, smooth interior from drying out. Tilsit has a mildly pungent aroma and a tangy taste that is delicate and fruity with spicy undertones. This German favorite is excellent on sandwiches, cold or grilled. It is also great on chicken or burgers, and also can be enjoyed melted over potatoes.Made from pasteurized cow's milk.Made with Vegetarian (Microbial) Rennet.We cut and wrap this item by the 1/2 pound.Please contact us if you would like to purchase the whole form. | | |

 | Tilsit is a surface ripened cheese first made by Dutch settlers in East Prussia, near the town of Tilsit, in the mid-19th Century. They were trying to recreate their beloved Gouda, but the cheese became infected with moulds, yeasts, and bacteria in a damp cellar and so, Tilsit was born. Also known as Tilsit Havarti, this cheese has a fuller and more intense flavor than Havarti, but is milder than German Tilsit. Made of partially skimmed milk with a brownish-orange washed rind, Danish Tilsit is more yellow in color than Havarti but has a similar springy, elastic, semi-firm texture, ideal for slicing. Danish Tilsit also has a piquant flavor, making it a great table cheese to enjoy with a Danish beer. Try this versatile cheese cubed in salads, melted in sauces, on potatoes, flans, or on burgers.Made from pasteurized cow's milk.Photo depicts whole 9 lb. form of cheese.We cut and wrap this item by the 1/2 pound.Please contact us if you would like to purchase the whole form. | | |
