Boeren-Leidse met Sleutels PDO

Netherlands – Rijnland region (South Holland)

Intensity
Creaminess

Traditional raw-milk Leiden cheese with fragrant cumin seeds pressed into a flat wheel and stamped with the 'keys' of Leiden. Firm, dry, and crumbly with tangy lactic sharpness that intensifies with age—a taste of the Rijnland region.

Perfect pairings

Best with genever, saison beers, spiced apple chutney, and rye bread.

Chef's tip: Grate over soups or slice thin for a bold cheese board. A Dutch classic for wine nights.
