Bon Repas: soft Dutch Swiss cheese with a creamy taste
Bon Repas is a Dutch Swiss cheese with a soft, creamy texture and a slightly sweet taste. This farmhouse cheese is made from thermized cow's milk and is known for its mild, approachable character and distinctive holes.
What is Bon Repas cheese?
Bon Repas is made by the Van Erk family and aged at Treur Kaas in Woerden. During the aging process, the holes are formed by propionic acid bacteria, which create an airy texture and a soft, full flavor. The cheese ages for a total of approximately 8 weeks, with a short warm aging phase during which the holes ('eyes') are formed.
