Noord-Hollands Aged Black

This Noord-Hollands Oud Zwart is instantly recognizable by its striking black coating and has the character of a cheese that's been given all the time it needs. The long aging process results in a bold, sharp flavor profile packed with crunchy flavor crystals that crumble on the tongue. The texture is firm and slightly crumbly.

Made from 100% Noord-Hollands pasture milk at the Lutjewinkel dairy, this is a cheese for the true lover of genuinely aged cheese. The black coating protects the cheese during its long aging and gives it that distinctive, robust look. This cheese is at its best cubed alongside drinks or sliced and enjoyed on its own.

Pairs well with: a full-bodied red wine, port or a dark bock beer. Serve with walnuts, mustard or fig bread. Compare with the Noord-Hollands Extra Mature for a milder option, or the Goudse Oud.
