Frequently Asked Questions
Cheese!
Cheese should be stored in the coldest compartment of the refrigerator- usually the bottom compartment. For all cheeses, we recommend once opened, to quickly take what you need, wrap the rest up in a fresh cling film and store it back in the refrigerator. Storing cheese in a tupperware is preferable. Consume soft cheeses within 5-7 days and hard cheeses within 14 days to enjoy it at its best.
In most cases, yes but do ask us if you are unsure. Most rinds are generally safe to eat (unless there is wax, cheesecloth or paper on the rind)
The quantity you buy depends on a number of factors – are you eating only cheese? Will the cheeses be served after multiple courses? Typically if cheese is the main course, we recommend 150g of cheese per person. This is a formula we use to determine the amount of cheese to serve:
[(150g * No. of persons)/ No. of cheeses] = weight recommended per cheese
Cheese should be enjoyed however you like! Though if you are enjoying our cheese platters we recommend tasting from the milder to stronger cheese to experience the complete flavor each cheese.
Pregnancy – We recommend that pregnant individuals stick to pasteurized cheese such as Vacherousse, Boer’n trots and Beemster.
Vegetarian – Certain cheeses use animal rennet to coagulate the cheese and these are not vegetarian-friendly. We recommend cheeses that use microbial rennet in the coagulation process such as Shropshire, Vacherousse and Beemster
Cheese should not be frozen as it changes the texture and taste of the cheese once thawed.
