July Cheese of the Month

UNIEKAAS MELKBUS® 39 LAVENDER

Uniekaas cheeses are of the finest quality in Holland for one reason: tradition.

Since the 1950’s our cheeses have been crafted and hand made by Holland’s most respected cheese makers and farmers. Whether you prefer a fresh spring milk aroma, tangy notes of citrus, crunchy protein crystals, or even a traditional creamy gouda… we are certain you will find a cheese or two to satisfy your palette. All Uniekaas cheeses are passionately created to have their own distinctive characteristics that stand out above the rest on your cheese plate, atop a delectable recipe, or on their own.

This refreshing Spring cheese is produced on a typical Dutch Farm in the middle of Holland known as Het Groene Hart or “The Green Heart” of Holland. Melkbus 39 Lavender starts out as a traditional “Kaas van de boerderij” or Raw Milk Farmer Cheese that it is infused with fragrant French Lavender blooms, rosemary, and thyme just prior to pressing and shaping.

After 10 weeks of aging, the lavender’s slightly sweet flair gives this indulgent and creamy cheese just the right balance of floral essence while subduing you into a dreamy state with its herbal garden aroma. Made with raw hormone free unpasteurized cow’s milk. This goes great on a summer cheese plate with some crackers, a healthy mix of fresh fruit or dried fruit, and a drizzle of honey.

Pairings: Creamed Honey, Prosciutto, Dried Cranberries
