BeemsterGraskaas
A seasonal cheese, this limited availability product is only produced in the summer. Beemster's world famous milk becomes even more coveted during the last two weeks of March. The milk taken from the Beemster cows during this period is the creamiest milk of the year. This is the only milk used to create Graskaas, an exceptional Gouda-type cheese enrobed in a vibrant, green rind. During the limited "first grazing" period, enough milk is collected to craft just 2,000 wheels of Graskaas; only half of which are exported to the US. Made in the beginning of April and aged for one month, the recipe for Graskaas dates back to 1901.

Beemster XO
Beemster XO is matured for 26 months
making it Beemster's oldest cheese. Many
people see 3-5 year old cheeses in stores
and ask us why we do not make an older
product. Once you have tasted Beemster
XO you will see the answer is quite simple.
As a cheese matures the flavors one tastes
in the cheese expands. As this process
happens moisture also exits the cheese, thus
leaving the cheese tasting crumbly and
granular in one's mouth. Because of
Beemster's unique milk, XO is able to obtain
one of the widest flavor ranges possible in
only 26 months and still retains its smooth
and creamy taste. Beemster XO is wonderful with Port wines, as
well as sweet whites, such as a Riesling. XO
can also be grated and used as a wonderful
alternative to Parmesan for pastas.

Beemster Master’s Choice
Beemster Master’s Choice – NEW - LIMITED EDITION!
In the modern market, cheesemakers often try to come up with the “next big cheese” and crowd the shelves with trendy new items. Beemster does just the opposite with Master’s Choice; it goes back in time to create a “new” cheese out of an old recipe.
Traditionally, Master’s Choice was a special yearly cheese. In the olden days, there was always a milk shortage in the winter when the cows gave birth. As responsible mothers, the cows gave their milk to their calves instead of to the hungry, cheese-deprived Dutchmen.
The cheesemakers of Beemster found a way to enjoy their milky summer cheese all winter long. Through a special recipe, fine milk, and extra washing of curds, a cheese was crafted that would mature for a longer time. The result was a cheese with a broad profile. The flavors develop an aged Dutch character, but the cheese is softer and creamier on the palate due to the extra washing.
After at least a year, the Master Cheesemaker, Pieter ter Beek selects the wheels that meet his standards, hence the name Master’s Choice.
Master’s Choice pairs well with Rioja, Pinot Noir, and Bordeaux. Get it while you can!
