Okay I’m gonna spam the sub a bit because I want to give my opinion on every cheese I bought today rather than just post one photo.
On the left is a wedge of Boerenmeisje. It’s a Dutch artisan Gouda made from raw milk and aged for 8 weeks at the farm. It is full fat, 48+%, and made into extra large wheela of 30 kg. Because of that, it doesn’t dry out as much during the aging, so it remains soft and buttery, hence the moniker “mesklever” = “stick-to-the-knife,” because, well duh. it is a melt-in-your-mouth cheese and imho one of the best in its kind.
The flavour is intense and characterful, with a great balance of salt and sweet and an intense smell which reminds me of Jura cheeses like a Morbier and Raclette, only milder. Perfect everyday sanwich cheese!
On the right is a nice cut of Boer’n Joekel, which I already discussed in an earlier post (https://www.reddit.com/r/Cheese/s/HMETyxRKPb).
