Stolwijker spicy farmhouse cheese

The Stolwijker spicy farmhouse cheese comes from the Green Heart of Zuid-Holland, where farmhouse cheese has been made for generations. This raw-milk cheese ages for 6 to 12 months on the farm itself, resulting in a bold, full flavor with a surprisingly creamy undertone. Every wheel is unique, because the taste is shaped by the season, the grass and the cows.

Using raw, untreated milk gives this farmhouse cheese a more complex and layered flavor profile than factory-made cheese. The spicy aging adds a firm bite that lingers on the palate. The firm texture slices beautifully, making this cheese just as at home on bread as it is on a cheese board.

Pairs well with: a bold Malbec, a double bock or a glass of young jenever. Delicious on a hearty slice of bread with mustard, alongside a Dutch stamppot, or as a snack with pickles. Compare with our aged farmhouse cheese for a different take on farmhouse cheese, or the Oude Meije for an even more intense flavor.
