Noord-Hollands Extra Mature

This Noord-Hollands Extra Mature cheese hits exactly that sweet spot between mature and aged. After 7 to 8 months of ripening, the flavor is firm and full, with the first flavor crystals forming, a sure sign of beautiful maturation. At the same time, the cheese is still creamy enough to slice easily.

Made from 100% Noord-Hollands pasture milk in Lutjewinkel, this cheese has the quality and character of a true regional classic. It's great on bread, and when cubed for a charcuterie and cheese board, that full flavor really comes into its own. The sweet spot for anyone who wants more than mature but isn't quite ready for aged.

Pairs well with: a glass of Rioja, an amber ale, or a good cider. Delicious on bread, cubed on a charcuterie and cheese board, or as part of a cheese board. Step up to the Noord-Hollands Oud Zwart for maximum intensity, or back to Noord-Hollands Belegen for something creamier.
