Farmers Giant XL

Product description

What is the Farmers Giant XL?

The Farmers Giant XL is a true giant among farmhouse cheeses: a cheese wheel weighing 60 kg, produced at De Jongenhoeve Cheese Farm in Bergambacht with care and craftsmanship.
The cheese is made from thermized milk, meaning it is not raw milk but briefly heated to eliminate harmful bacteria while preserving the full, natural flavor. This makes the Farmers Giant XL safe for pregnant women.

With a ripening period of about one year, small crystals form in the cheese: subtle salt and protein crystals that give a pleasant crunch and enhance the depth of flavor.
The result is a robust farmhouse cheese with character – truly a “Giant” among farm cheeses.

Flavor profile – how does it taste?

• Full and creamy: Its large size keeps the texture soft and smooth.
• Rich and refined: After one year of aging, the cheese develops a lightly tangy, nutty flavor with a hint of sweetness.
• Crystals: The tiny crystals add a subtle crunch and indicate perfect aging.

How to enjoy the Boeren Gigant XL

• Events and catering: Perfect as a showpiece at buffets or cheese tastings.
• Cooking: Great grated over pasta, casseroles, or mashed potatoes; also delicious in cubes for salads.
