Hollandse Geitenkaas

Hollandse geitenkaas is a semi-hard white cheese prepared using pasteurized cream or whole, semi-skimmed or skimmed milk from Dutch White Goats or Dutch White cross-breeds exclusively. Its taste is soft, mild and clean, with fat content between 50% and 60%.

The mild flavor is developed after a minimum of four weeks of ripening. It can be left to ripen in the air, where it develops a dry rind, or it can be foil-ripened, preserving the mild flavors of young goat's cheese. As most goat cheeses, it goes well with chilled white wines and dry rosé wines.

This cheese has won a hefty number of prizes at international tastings, making it one of many Dutch specialties.
