(Semi) hard cheese

Semi-hard and hard foreign cheeses have a firm structure, which they owe to the maturation period. In terms of structure, the hard cheeses are even firmer than the semi-hard varieties. Our (semi-)hard cheeses mainly come from countries such as France, Italy and Switzerland. View our range and order your favourite cheese online at Cheese Online.

What is a hard cheese?

Hard cheeses are delicious cheeses with a firm texture. This is mainly due to longer ripening, which reduces the moisture in the cheese and makes it harder. Our hard cheeses are produced with traditional curdling and this ensures that the flavour of the cheese is at its best. Use a hard cheese, for example, for grating, curling, cooking or serving a nice block of cheese.

Delicious hard cheeses

What are hard cheeses? In our range, we have the well-known hard cheeses Gruyère and Emmentaler. Looking for an Italian hard cheese? Go for Grana Padano or Pecorino with truffle. Both perfect for a cheeseboard.

A semi-hard cheese for the cheeseboard

Semi-hard foreign cheeses are between the soft and hard varieties in terms of structure. The cheese is given at least two months to mature and has a firm and tangy flavour. Semi-hard cheese retains more moisture than a hard cheese because the ripening process is shorter.

With this type of cheese, you can vary a lot and make the most delicious dishes. For instance, serve a semi-hard cheese on a cheeseboard, incorporate it into an oven dish or have a piece of cheese on the go. Kernhem, Trappist cheese and Morbier are examples of a semi-hard cheese.
