Noord-Hollands 35+ aged black

This aged Noord-Hollands cheese has a distinctive black coating and all the boldness you’d expect from a long ripening period. On the palate, you’ll find a spicy, full-bodied character with the slightly dry, crumbly bite that aged cheese is known for. Yet it’s lighter than a regular aged cheese, because at 35+ it contains less fat in the dry matter. That makes it firm in flavor without feeling too heavy.

Made from pasture milk, this is a semi-hard cheese. Cut it into cubes for your charcuterie and cheese board, where its spicy edge really comes into its own. It’s also great on bread or straight from the block. Good to know: this cheese is vegetarian and safe to eat during pregnancy.
