Grevenbroecker
Farmhouse product.
Belgian blue-veined cheese made from raw cow’s milk. Belgien The Catharinadal cheese works was awarded the Caseus Award 2009 for its Grevenbroecker Also called Achel blue, this mild creamy cheese is made from the raw milk of MRY (red pied) cows that feed on fresh grass and clover in the 20 hectares of pastures of the farm. The milk yield from red pied cows is lower than that from other dairy breeds, but the flavour is more subtle, resulting in a better tasting cheese. The quantities produced are limited, with only 16 cheeses made every week. Grevenbroecker is not pricked: its streaky blue marbled structure is natural and unique and results from the particular arrangement of the curd. Its taste becomes more pronounced as it matures.
- Unpasteurised Cow's Milk

We recommend the following quantities per person:
For an after dinner cheese board, 30g to 50g per cheese per person is generally enough and should not leave you with much leftover. If you are planning to have a big table and / or want some cheese to be carried over a few days ,we recommend 60 to 80g per cheese per person.
The number of cheeses is up too you (i say the more the better!) but to achieve a good selection from textures, Strenghs & different milks, 4 to 6 cheeses are recommended.
