The slightly piquant and sweet cheese tastes delicious on bread, in warm and cold dishes or as a snack while having a drink. We recommend to combining Blue Label with a remarkably good glass of Cabernet Sauvignon or Pinot Noir!
Meet our V.S.O.C. Red Label: a naturally 40 weeks matured cheese with Italian characteristics. We made sure to combine the best of two worlds: the nutty and fine-aged flavour profile of Italian cheeses with the smooth texture and flavour of an aged Gouda cheese, which makes it easier to slice, melt or shred. This cheese is unique in its kind due to its low fat percentage and therefore delicious on a sandwich, ideal in the kitchen to bring some Italian flavour to your dishes.
Give your palate a taste sensation with V.S.O.C. White Label: a 1-year aged goat’s cheese with a flavour more intense than you’ve ever experienced before. The combination of full-bodied cheese with the subtle crunch of salt crystals makes every bite something to savour. Perfect with a fresh salad or a fine white wine. Or, for that ultimate moment of indulgence, try V.S.O.C. White Label with a glass of champagne.
The flavour of our V.S.O.C. Black Label cheese is nothing short of unique. It has all the colour, taste and aroma you expect from a classic vintage Gouda, but an extra hint of sweetness and the subtle crunch of salt crystals make it exceptionally robust and irresistible.
It is not without reason we named our cheese Very Superior Old Cheeses. The world’s most prestigious competition: ‘The World Cheese Awards’ has praised them for their Very Superior taste! No other prize would have fit our V.S.O.C. Gold Label better than the World Cheese Awards’ Gold Award. We leave our Gouda cheeses longer on the wooden shelves to ripen. The extra care and time our cheese gets results is a beautiful crumbly texture, a deep yellow/orange colour and a fine structure of even more salt crystals. Although naturally matured for at least 2 years, this cheese retains a nice creamy mouthfeel and an excellent taste with hints of roasted nuts and caramel.
After winning a Gold award for our V.S.O.C. Gold Label, we wondered what would happen if we let our cheese mature even longer. The result: a cheese aged for three full years, with an even stronger taste profile for those who love deep, sweet notes of butterscotch. As the cheese dries out over time, it becomes wonderfully crumbly and flaky, full of crunchy crystals. Because of the time and care this masterpiece takes, a cheese like this is hard to find. Meet our V.S.O.C. Platinum, a rare cheese that is well worth the wait.
V.S.O.C. is made to the original Gouda recipe in Holland, using only the best milk. To make a full wheel, we use no less than 110 liters of milk. After the traditional production process, the cheese is matured on wood in our special ageing room for no less than 1, 2 and even 3 years. Throughout this time, it is regularly hand-waxed and turned until it reaches V.S.O.C. quality standard.
The flavour of our V.S.O.C. cheeses is nothing short of unique. It has all the colour, taste and aroma you expect from a classic vintage Gouda, but an extra hint of sweetness and the subtle crunch of salt crystals make it exceptionally robust and irresistible. The result is a fine example of Dutch craftsmanship, following a tradition handed down from father to son over many generations.
Our master cheesemakers ensure that, despite its age, V.S.O.C. Black Label is always easy to slice. That makes it the perfect cheese for any time of day. Delicious in a sandwich, ideal in the kitchen to bring real flavour to your dishes and remarkably good with a glass of red wine. In fact, you can enjoy V.S.O.C. Black Label all day long!
