Kaamps Estate
| Kaamps Estate's Whiskey Maple Gouda is a farmstead cheese from the Twente region, Netherlands, crafted from thermized or pasteurized cow’s milk sourced exclusively from the estate’s own herd. It features a semi-firm, creamy texture due to a pasture-rich diet yielding softer fats and a unique mineral profile from sandy soils. Aged 12-14 weeks, its defining process washes curds in a maple syrup whiskey solution for uniform flavor. Infused with oak-aged whiskey and maple sweetness, it balances caramel, nutty, and woody notes without boozy heat. Produced with animal rennet, it exemplifies terroir-driven, sustainable artisanal cheesemaking. | |
