Roemer
Discover the exceptional Roemer cheese from North Holland
Roemer cheese from North Holland represents the pinnacle of Dutch cheese-making tradition. At Van der Heiden Kaas, we are proud to offer this distinctive cheese, known for its high quality, creamy taste, and unique maturation process. Each variety of Roemer cheese is a testament to our commitment to excellence.
Why choose Roemer cheese from North Holland?
Roemer cheese is produced by dairy cooperatives in North Holland, where farmers let their cows graze freely for at least 120 days a year. This attention to animal welfare and sustainable practices ensures that the milk used is of the highest quality. The cheese is then crafted in a environmentally friendly cheese factory. This meticulous care results in cheese that is not only delicious but also sustainably responsible.
A variety of maturation options
We offer Roemer cheese from creamy young to crumbly aged, catering to all taste preferences. Additionally, we provide specialties such as:
- Golden Roemer: This cheese has matured for 18 months, developing beautiful crystals while remaining easy to slice. Its golden edge is a hallmark of its rich, aged flavor.
- Roemer Sweet Piquant: With a clear sweetness balanced by a piquant taste, this cheese is accessible yet complex. It has matured for over a year, offering a perfect blend of sweet and savory.
- Roemer Light Matured: Designed for health-conscious consumers, this cheese has only 35% fat yet retains a smooth, rich flavor. It won a silver award at the Gouda Cheese Awards 2019.
- Roemer XO: Aged for 1000 days, this cheese is permeated with crystals and offers a haunting, long-lasting taste. Despite its long maturation, it remains surprisingly creamy.
The art of cheese maturation
At Van der Heiden Kaas, we take pride in our expertise in cheese maturation. After the initial production, the young Roemer cheese is transported to our facility, where it matures under carefully controlled conditions. We maintain a constant temperature, optimal humidity, and adequate airflow in our warehouse. The cheese rests on unprocessed wooden boards and is periodically turned and coated until it reaches perfection. This process enhances the flavor, making Roemer cheese a true delicacy.
