Named after the famous Flemish painter, Rubens is a Belgian semi-soft cheese produced in the region of West Flanders. It is made from cow’s milk. The cheese is characterized by its reddish-brown rind, and it typically matures from 8-12 weeks.
Its texture is firm, yet supple, filled with small holes throughout the body. The flavors are smooth, rich, and subtly sweet-savory. It is recommended to pair it with apple slices, cider, and light red wines.
