There’s aged Gouda, and then there’s Reypenaer XO. Meet the most mature cheese in the Reypenaer range, and let me tell you, you can expect fireworks!
Inspired by tradition
Reypenaer XO is a hard cheese made by Wijngaard Kaas in the Netherlands. The cheesemakers have adapted a traditional recipe for Gouda to make this unique cheese.
They exclusively use fresh milk from cows that are grass-fed during the summer months to make this cheese. The formed wheels are then taken to a 100 year old warehouse on the banks of Oude Rijn River for maturation.
A family secret
And then there's the XO
How to pair Reypenaer XO
Enjoy Reypenaer XO with a hearty stout, single malt whisky or barrel-aged gin. Overall, those robust pairings contrast beautifully with the sweetness of the cheese.
