What is Graskaas Cheese?

Beemster Graskaas, or simply Graskaas, meaning 'grass cheese,' is an exceptional seasonal cheese available at the beginning of summer. This unique Dutch cheese is made from cow's milk, sourced from cows grazing on spring pastures. Milk collected during this time is the creamiest of the year, imparting the cheese with a rich, creamy consistency and a deep flavor. Beemster Graskaas has a semi-hard texture and a green, inedible rind. Produced in limited quantities, it is matured for one month before reaching the market.
