Product description

Young Cumin Cheese 48+ is a true delight for those who love mild cheeses with a flavorful twist. Naturally aged for just four weeks, this cheese retains its soft, creamy texture while already offering a surprisingly rich and aromatic taste. The addition of cumin seeds gives it a warm, slightly nutty flavor that perfectly complements its smooth base.

What is 48+ Cumin Cheese?

Cumin cheese is a traditional Dutch cheese made by adding cumin seeds directly into the curd during production. This results in a unique flavor profile that has been loved in the Netherlands for centuries. The "48+" label means the cheese contains at least 48% fat in dry matter, giving it a rich, creamy taste and smooth texture.

This young version is aged naturally for only four weeks, which is relatively short compared to aged cheeses. This short maturing process gives it a mild and approachable character, ideal for all ages.

Why Choose 4 Weeks of Natural Aging?

A genuine, artisanal cheese with a soft bite and rich flavor – free from artificial enhancers.
