Beemster XO

Beemster Extra Aged (X-O), also known as Beemster XO Gouda, is a rich Dutch cheese made from pasteurized cow's milk. This exceptionally aged cheese matures for at least 26 months in Beemster's historic warehouses. During this time, it develops long-lasting flavors of butterscotch, whiskey, and pecan, with subtle hints of caramel. Its interior boasts a deep ocher color and a crumbly, firm texture. Studded with crunchy, mouthwatering crystals, it offers delightful surprises to the palate. Pair this cheese with fig cake, spicy honey, olives, or roasted nuts. It complements dry red and white wines as well as most dessert wines.
