Reypenaer is a Dutch cheese of exceptional quality, handcrafted by the Van den Wijngaard family, who have been making traditional cheese for over a century. Jan and Rien van den Wijngaard continue this legacy today, running the family business with a deep respect for time-honored techniques and the land that sustains them.
Only the finest milk is used in Reypenaer’s production. During the Dutch summer, cows roam freely through lush pastures nourished by regular rainfall and mild temperatures. This seasonal freedom results in rich, high-quality milk that forms the foundation of this well-balanced, deeply flavorful cheese.
This semi firm Netherlands Reypanaer matures for twelve months in a historic 100-year-old aging room. The natural maturing process benefits from the room’s mild temperatures and high humidity. These conditions let the cheese age slowly and evenly. Over time, this environment creates a firm yet creamy texture. It also develops a complex flavor with notes of caramel, toasted nuts, and a mild sharpness.
The result is a cheese that is rich, nuanced, and deeply satisfying. Reypenaer pairs beautifully with fig jam, walnuts, crusty bread, or thinly sliced cured meats. For drinks, try it with a malty Belgian ale, an oaky white wine, or aged port. Serve at room temperature to enjoy its full flavor and aroma.
