In the Netherlands, production of cheeses from sheep’s milk is unusual, making Vintage Grand Ewe something of a rarity.
The natural ripening of Vintage Grand Ewe over many months, allows for moisture loss and therefore a concentration of flavors within the cheese.
Well balanced, deep, rich notes of butterscotch and almond are characteristic of this cheese, together with a firm, slightly chocolate-like texture that, when cut, has a tendency to break into shards.
