Enjoy the delicious flavours of real farmhouse cheese

Dutch Farmhouse Cheese - Light

The Dutch cheeses come in a variety of different shapes, colours and of course different tastes. This means you can choose any kind of cheese you like. Some people say they don’t like cheese, but given the amount of different flavours, this is almost impossible. In any case, it is nice to explore the various options. You can go to the supermarket and buy some regular cheese, but you can also try and find some farmhouse cheese. This type of cheese is made by the Dutch farmers on their own farm. This means the cheese is homemade, or put in more fitting terms, it is farm-made. Traditionally, it is the farmer’s wife who makes the cheese.

She uses her own ideas and recipes to create a one-of-kind type of cheese. It also depends on the soil and the grass and the way the milk is transformed into cheese. Each farmhouse cheese is therefore unique. In the Netherlands there are still around 3000 farms left where farmer’s cheese or Dutch Farmhouse cheese is made. This means you can choose from a large variety of exclusive cheeses.

Red Edam cheese has some characteristics that make it a surprisingly versatile type of cheese. For instance, it can hardly go bad. Instead of spoiling or going bad, the Red Edam cheese only hardens. This is one of the reasons why this kind of cheese was so popular in earlier times, such as the sea culture between the fourteenth and eighteenth century. Furthermore, the following can be said about the taste of this specific kind of cheese. When the Edam cheese is still young, it has a surprisingly mild flavor and taste. This does change over time, however. More specifically, its flavor becomes significantly sharper. The cheese also becomes sturdier and can more easily be broken into smaller pieces. All in all, this makes the Red Edam cheese a suitable choice for anyone. Due to its mild taste, it is hard not to like it. As such, it is hard not to like this kind of cheese.
