Boerenkaas (Farmhouse Raw-Milk)

Netherlands – various provinces

Intensity
Creaminess

Handcrafted raw-milk Dutch cheese made on-farm within 24 hours of milking. Pronounced terroir: meadow herbs, cellar depth, and lingering umami. Texture ranges from supple to crystalline—every wheel tells the story of its farm.

Perfect pairings

Amber tripel beers, Chenin Blanc, apricot jam, roasted hazelnuts.

Chef's tip: Favorite of local cheesemongers. Bring to room temperature and serve with honey or fig paste.
