Santa LOVES Cheese!
November 10th, 2009
Beemster’s holiday edition cheese, Santa’s Choice.
For more than a century, Beemster has been hand-making cheese on its sustainable farm in the Netherlands. The Santa’s Choice holiday edition is actually the well-known Beemster Classic cheese, composed of grade-A cow’s milk culminating in a rich and complex flavor. The cheese is matured for a minimum of 18 months and hand-produced by master cheese makers with love and care. Beemster cows graze only on pesticide-free pastures which are located 20ft below sea level in North Holland. The rare blue sea clay of these pastures contains special minerals that give the milk a sweeter and softer milk fat. Hence Beemster cheeses have softer and creamier texture than other Dutch cheeses.
Beemster’s Santa’s Choice would make a wonderful gift for anyone this holiday season whether it be your boss, colleague, mother or dear friend, and the sweet and creamy texture will NOT disappoint! Whether eaten alone as a snack or used in a recipe you will love the difference that Beemster’s cheeses make.
Beemster’s has a sweeter richer taste. It is really hard to describe but it could almost be a dessert cheese. If that makes any sense at all. Seriously though, the taste is really very different that what I am used to at least, and I love cheese and have tried many varieties. Ok, yes, there is only so many you can choose from here in HickTown, but I do go to Whole Foods and taste test cheese. I do buy some as well, but taste testing is the best part. I had never seen or tasted Beemster’s before I was sent a sample and now I think I am addicted and may need intervention. I love cheese anyway but I have never had anything like this. It has a very unique flavor and would be delicious paired with a good wine I imagine. Santa will definitely be having Beemster cheese and crackers to go with his cookies at our house this year!
