This cheese is adored by connoisseurs for its unique caramel, whiskey and pecan flavors. Beemster XO® is naturally matured in historic warehouses, and thanks to the special milk and the skill of the artisans, it retains its creaminess while developing an intense and refined taste. As the longest-matured cheese in the Beemster range, it typically contains tyrosine crystals (amino acids) that provide that “crunchy” texture so appreciated by lovers of matured cheeses.
