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.

    What’s the best way to store my cheese?
    The best way to keep cheese fresh is to store it in the vegetable crisper in your fridge. Before doing so, wrap in parchment or wax paper, then wrap loosely in plastic wrap. You can also buy our exclusive cheese storage bags, specially created to keep your cheese fresher, longer.

    Unless used for cooking, we don’t recommend storing cheese in the freezer as this will alter its texture.

    What is the best temperature to serve my cheese?
    Remove cheese from the fridge an hour before serving, as cheese is best experienced at room temperature to enjoy the full spectrum of flavors.

    How long will my cheese stay fresh in the refrigerator?
    The length of time cheeses last in the fridge after opening depends largely on the type of cheese. Soft varieties tend to spoil more quickly than hard varieties. Please refer to the table below for a convenient reference:

    How We Ship

    FreshWave Packaging

    Our products are always shipped so they will arrive at your door in optimal condition! We’ve carefully selected packaging options that have minimal impact on the environment without compromising on food safety or quality. 

    For perishable orders, we line our shipping boxes with Tempguard - a unique, padded insulator made of 100% pre-consumer recycled paper material. We further control the temperature with recycled kraft paper fill and non-toxic frozen gel packs. In the summer months, we may include dry ice to ensure fresh delivery in very hot weather.

    Note: Please join our efforts to be mindful of our environment and extend the life-cycle of our packaging, by recycling your shipping box, Tempguard liner, and kraft fill (all 100% curbside recyclable!). Store the gel packs in your freezer and reuse to keep your next picnic or road trip fare cool.
