We have 6 fantastic new flavoured cheeses for you to try. Here at Wijngaard, we know as well as anyone that a good cheese stands alone. Nevertheless, we find the idea of adding a unique flavour to a great cheese very exciting – it gives our taste buds a thrill. In addition, the combination of vibrant colours adds an extra dimension to the cheeseboard.
Flavoured Cheeses from Wijngaard
In producing these flavoured cheeses, we have carefully selected herbs and spices, ranging from exotic ginger and gourmet truffle to colourful sun dried tomatoes. We add these to the cheese during the aging process.
Chèvre Rozemarijn (Goat’s Cheese with Rosemary)
This is a four month old, traditionally matured goat’s cheese which is ripened with rosemary. During the aging process, the flavour of rosemary is absorbed into the cheese. We think you will find the resulting taste wonderfully balanced.
Oude Affiné Gember (Old Affiné with Ginger)
This speciality cheese is traditionally matured with ginger for 10 months. During the natural ripening process, the ginger permeates the cheese and releases its flavour. This is a cheese of depth with a full flavour, which the ginger perfectly complements. Old Affiné with Ginger was a gold medal winner at the Nantwich Cheese Show 2010.
Affiné Zwarte Peper (Affiné Cheese with Black Pepper)
Our Affiné cheeses are traditionally matured. Our special cheese caves are used for the ‘affinage’ or aging. These are superior cheeses, aged for 4 months. In terms of flavour, the soft and creamy taste of the Affiné combines perfectly with the flavours of the black pepper corns. This cheese won a silver medal at the Nantwich Cheese Show 2010.
We have three more speciality flavoured cheeses from our Affiné Collection, each matured for four months. The Affiné Zontomaat Bieslook (Affiné Cheese with Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Chives), where the soft and creamy taste of the Affiné elegantly combines with the flavours of sun-dried tomatoes and chives. The Affiné Mosterd Dille (Affiné with Mustard and Dill) is a taste sensation of soft and creamy cheese offset by the crunch of the mustard seeds. Finally, we have Affiné Truffel (Affiné with Truffle) – our truffle cheese, which is a perfect marriage of cheese and truffles. We add a truffle tapenade to the cheese before aging allowing the flavour of the truffle to permeate the cheese and well, you just have to try it!
4 months matured flavoured cheeses with Sun-Dried Tomatoes, Chives; Mustard, Dill and Truffle
Our speciality flavoured cheeses are available for tasting and to buy at the Reypenaer Proeflokaal (Tasting Rooms) in Amsterdam. We are open every day except Tuesday.

Hello,
I am from the United States and was wondering if the Wijngaard specialty cheese are available to be shipped
overseas. They all look great!
I was looking for just the right gift for a friend who loves all cheeses. I have trouble finding any he hasn’t tried yet and I think your specialty series would be perfect.
I see on the online shopping there are several packages to choose from, but I didn’t see the ones I was looking for.
I appreciate any help I can get.
Thank you, Sheri
Dear Sheri,
Greetings from the Netherlands! Our speciality cheeses are currently not available online, unfortunately. However, may I recommend our beautifully presented 4 cheese gift set – it is currently on offer at a very special price of only EUR19.95. This gift set travels well and is perfect for cheese lovers. We are confident that your friend won’t be disappointed. Our artisan cheese have won several awards and are matured in our 100 year old custom built warehouse where each wheel of cheese is given the time it needs to mature as nature intended. We don’t use any artificial temperature control and the process is entirely sustainable.
This 4 Cheese Gift Set contains our artisan aged gouda Reypenaer One Year matured, our 2 year aged Reypenaer V.S.O.P aged gouda, our wonderful Chevre Affiné goats cheese which has a soft, deep and complex flavour and our Wyngaard Affineurs Belegen.
Hope this helps!
