On a recent trip to holland we discovered a limited production dutch chevre created in 1993 by the van dijk family. Dorothea named after the van dijk s mother was created at the request of the famous chef cas spijkars. Cas wanted to win the annual dutch award for most unusual food and thought that a flavored goat cheese might do the trick. They began experimenting with a secret ingredient
Potato skins
Chosen because the potato is an important food in dutch culinary tradition. But cas thought that initial efforts with the cheese potato combination fell a little flat so they kept working. Finally after tweaking the recipe by adding some basil oil coriander oil and chopped onion cas and the van dijks had completed their masterpiece
And subsequently won the award each wheel of dorothea only 4 000 are made per year is pampered with the optimum aging conditions. Humidity and temperature are meticulously adjusted every few days to assure proper maturation. This wonderfully delicious cheese is made from pasteurized milk but retains all of the taste for which goat s milk is famous. It is aged over 60 days to develop a full nutty flavor and a body that is firm but not hard enough to grate. Dorothea has an aroma reminiscent of the fresh outdoors and an unforgettable flavor.
