Beemster With Mustard

Beemster with Mustard at the Beemster Website

Beemster is a line of Dutch cheeses, of which I am quite fond. Their cheeses tend to be mild and creamy, yet flavorful and enticing. Beemster with Mustard is no exception.

This is a variety of cheese from Beemster's "Royal Garden Selection", which makes me feel pretty fancy. It's just a nice, creamy, mildly yellow Dutch cheese with a lot of mustard seeds in it. The mustard flavor is not overpowering or out of place, and the seeds give the cheese an extra layer of texture that makes it quite a pleasure to eat.

This is definitely a versatile cheese that would perform wonderfully on a burger, in a grilled cheese sandwich, on a cheese plate, in a salad, I mean wherever really. Nothing goes better with mustard than onions, so if you're cheese plating this one, I recommend surrounding it with some yummy little cocktail onions - or just drinking a Gibson while you eat it.

RATING: 3 out of 5 stars
