Kanaal Cheese

Kanaal is crunchy, butterscotch, salty sweet cheese candy. Kanaal is a Proosdij which is a a semi-firm to firm style of washed-curd cheese made very similarly to Goudas using specific combinations of mixed-strain start cultures. The cheese develops aroma, flavor, and texture profiles with characteristics of a cross between Gouda and Parmesan cheese. This also includes the satisfying crunchiness of increasing amount of tyrosine crystals that form with age along with more sweet, fruity, toasted caramel, and bouillon flavors than Gouda cheese. Proosdijs have lower butterfat in dry matter than the required 48% for official Gouda status. With Kanaal coming very close at 45% it has the benefits to satisfy while warranting those extra snack bites.

Rouveen is one of the leading and independent cheese factories in The Netherlands who produces outstanding and unique cheeses that meet the highest quality requirements. Rouveen is one of the preferred partners of Daily Dairy Holland for the production of Dutch cheeses.

From wind mill generated electricity to the utmost attention paid to quality and hygiene in milk and cheese production including non-GMO ingredients and free-range pasture grazing for all cows supplying the milk, Kanaal represents the best of old world practices combined with modern technology and a sustainability-minded mentality. Now that makes Kanaal truly craveable.
