Cow's Milk
Beemster 3yr Aged Gouda

Buttermilk Blue

The raw milk, higher in butterfat than most, is transformed into delicate curds by hand hooping the curds into traditional round forms. They then pierce the cheese with salt, and cure the cheese for two months or more to allow a lacey network of natural blue veining to develop.
