Description
Buy mature farmhouse cheese
The 2 big differences between mature farmhouse cheese and factory cheese are the milk, which is not pasteurized, and the cheese is made by hand. Raw milk is the basis of this cheese. A real craft. Even creamier, even tastier!
Boerenkaas is a typical Dutch specialty. It is also a specialty that receives less attention than it deserves due to the fame of Gouda cheese. The big difference between Gouda cheese and Boerenkaas is that the latter is made with raw milk. How about that?
Raw milk
Most cheese is made from pasteurized milk. This means that the milk is heated to 72 degrees before it is made into cheese. With farmhouse cheese, the milk is not heated before making cheese .
The basis of cheese is of course the milk, but the taste comes from good bacteria (rennet). When the milk is boiled, most of the bacteria disappear and the cheese gets less taste. Farmer’s cheese therefore has more flavor than Gouda cheese. The taste of farmhouse cheese is also much more intense, deeper and creamier.
Today, there are still about 300 farms in the Netherlands that make farmer’s cheese. This often happens on the farm itself so that the chain is short.
