  3. Distribute the fig jam, grapes, crackers, nuts, mustard, and salami around the board.

  4. Serve with 4 cheese knives, or other small knives, for each wedge of cheese. Keep cheese board loosely covered with plastic wrap and remove 15 min. before guests arrive.

Vlaskaas

Historically made once a year to celebrate the flax harvest. A review of historic recipes brought it back and we thought it was just too good to only make once a year!

Pairs with:

Session ale, mineral-y white wine. Apples, fresh figs, walnuts and artisan salami.

Goat

Beemster Goat is not a soft, fresh chevre. Instead, this is a semi-firm, aged Goat Gouda. Mild, sweet & refreshing.

Pairs with:

Crisp white wines and pale lagers. Wildflower honey, crushed cashews and melt atop whole wheat bread.
