Old Amsterdam – MLFC Retail Packs 8 x 150g approx

Old Amsterdam cheese is produced from Dutch meadow milk, incorporating rennet and a specially designed lactic starter to commence the cheese-making process. The unique taste of Old Amsterdam is credited to this starter, which emerged from extensive trials to achieve the ideal blend. The crucial component of this distinctive flavor was found in Milk Container 4, and the M4 starter remains a closely guarded company secret.

The art of maturing Old Amsterdam is a meticulously honed craft, informed by insights from Southern European counterparts. This pivotal stage defines the cheese’s final taste and texture. A meticulous regimen of temperature and humidity adjustments is followed, ensuring that although flavor is prioritized over the aging duration, Old Amsterdam is generally matured for roughly eight months. Each batch undergoes rigorous sampling and approval by an inspector before being released, guaranteeing the cheese remains consistently sharp, slightly sweet, and rich in cheese crystals, all while being smooth and easy to cut.
