Jumbo Cheese Matured 48+ Piece

Bring the deep, comforting flavour of Dutch cheese culture to your table. Jumbo Cheese Matured 48+ Piece gives Dutch expats and cheese lovers a richly aged taste of home, with a firm semi-hard texture and a full, slightly spicy character developed through around 16 weeks of maturation. With 910 g of cheese in the piece, it is made for generous sandwiches, shared boards, and everyday cooking.

When you live abroad, the right cheese is more than an ingredient. It is the taste of a Dutch breakfast, a simple boterham made properly, or a warm dish finished with that unmistakable mature Gouda-style richness. This Cheese Matured 48+ delivers that familiar balance: creamy enough to feel indulgent, firm enough to slice neatly, and mature enough to bring depth without overpowering the meal.

The 48+ fat classification gives this cheese its rounded mouthfeel and satisfying fullness. That matters with every bite. On bread, it feels smooth and substantial. In warm dishes, it melts into a savoury layer that enriches casseroles, toasted sandwiches, omelettes, and traditional Dutch-inspired recipes. Its slightly spicy matured note adds character to simple food, turning a plain lunch into something distinctly Dutch.

• Matured for around 16 weeks: develops a deeper, more pronounced flavour than young cheese, with a gently spicy finish that stands out beautifully on bread or crackers.
• Semi-hard texture: slices cleanly for sandwiches yet melts well when heated, making it practical for both cold and warm meals.
• 48+ cheese: offers a creamy, full-bodied mouthfeel that makes each slice feel rich and satisfying.
• 910 g content: a generous piece for households that use Dutch cheese often, from weekday lunches to weekend platters.
• 970 g total weight: a substantial Dutch dairy favourite, carefully suited for stocking your fridge with a dependable taste of home.

Serve it the traditional way: sliced on fresh bread with mustard, grated over a warm dish, or cut into cubes for a borrel platter. Its mature flavour pairs naturally with pickles, crusty bread, apple syrup, rye bread, grapes, or a crisp glass of white wine. For Dutch and Flemish expats, it brings back the small rituals that matter: a proper cheese sandwich, a well-filled lunchbox, or an evening snack that tastes unmistakably familiar.
