Cheese is one of the three pillars on which the economy of the Netherlands rests, along with flowers and Dutch beer. As in any manufacturing industry, in cheesemaking there is the mass market and there are exclusive products of the highest quality, handmade, one could even say artisanal.
The cheeses of the family business Reypenaer belong to exactly this kind of exclusive product and are well known in the narrow circles of gourmets. Cheeses of this brand are famous for their unique flavor qualities, which they owe to a special approach: this cheese is made by hand according to old family recipes and in accordance with ancient cheesemaking traditions. The use of any artificial additives is excluded, only the very best raw materials are selected, and special conditions for the aging of the cheeses play an important role in production.
At the Reypenaer cheese shop, you can buy cheeses that are divided not only by variety, but also by degree of maturation. For example, cheese can also bear the title V.S.O.P., like a good cognac - this title is given to cheese aged for two years.
The Reypenaer shop has a special room where tastings are regularly held. You will be told and shown how to choose cheese correctly, taught to enjoy the aroma and taste of each type, as well as to pair delicacies properly with wine or another drink. After such a tasting, you will be fully entitled to consider yourself a gourmet and pass on your knowledge of the art of enjoying this product to friends and loved ones, of course, together with a piece of signature Dutch cheese ;)
