The Westland family turned to their Southern European colleagues a second time, this time for help with developing the optimal maturation process for Old Amsterdam. Maturation is a crucial step in the cheese-making process, as it determines the cheese’s final flavor and structure. For Old Amsterdam, we developed a rigid schedule of temperature and humidity fluctuations. Although flavor always trumps maturation time, Old Amsterdam is left to mature for an average of eight months. Our cheese is not released until our own inspector has sampled and approved it. Old Amsterdam is therefore guaranteed to be sharp and slightly sweet, full of cheese crystals, yet smooth and easy to cut.
