OG Kristal / Old Groendal is a tyrosine dream come true for all the worshipers of those lovely little cheese diamonds. The Deweer family keeps a close relationship with the dairy farming neighbors in their town, sourcing the best possible milk available to them. This milk is crafted into OG Kristal / Old Groendal, utilizing traditional Gouda methods and aged for a minimum of 18 months, but nothing about its flavor is basic.
While a traditional, sweet profile is achieved, OG Kristal / Old Groendal veers more towards cocoa and malted notes rather than the classic caramel flavor. Its long-lasting finish is reminiscent of liqueur-soaked cherries. The texture remains extremely moist and creamy for a cheese of its age, while the well-developed tyrosine is pronounced and evenly dispersed.
