or a masterfully memorable occasion, don’t forget to serve a decadent - and deliciously - decorated A Dutch Masterpiece cheeseboard. With a recent redesign featuring approachable artwork from Dutch painters as well as their most recognizable works, A Dutch Masterpiece is painting a very palatable picture on their wedges and wheels. The brand also launched a new website which is sure to get your cheese wheels turning with new ideas for your own holiday party.
While their imposing images of Dutch painters might make them stand out in the cheese case, you can now create your own standout cheeseboard at home so that you can be the hit of the holiday season. After all, A Dutch Masterpiece wants to ensure that they help you make mouthwatering new traditions. Their lineup of four premium mature cheeses have won awards for outstanding excellence around the world for their dedication to the art of traditional Dutch cheesemaking and exclusive recipes. The proof
of their prestige, including everything from origin to taste and texture, is also mentioned on the packaging. According to Debbie Seife, Marketing Director, of FrieslandCampina Consumer Dairy, their prized cheeses, named after the world’s most famous painters, are works of art in themselves. “Distinctive in flavor like their artists, our new brand identity and package design frames the distinctive features of each painter, their formative work, and the unique age and tasting notes of each of the awarding winning cheeses in our masterpiece collection.” This collection of cherished cheeses includes the Rembrandt, which is fully ripened for one year. With a firm texture and robust flavor, this extra aged gouda has won the World Championship Cheese Contest in 2004, in addition to receiving gold in the 2016 World Cheese Awards. The almost too ‘gouda’ to be true Vincent variety, a 2013 World Cheese Award winner, is a perfect combination of gouda and parmesan. After being fully ripened for six months, this classic Dutch cheese is full of flavor. Made with 100% goat’s milk for a full-bodied taste and delicate aroma, Frans Hals came out on top at the 2016 World Cheese Awards, while the popular Vermeer, which is ripened for six months, paints a tasty picture of fruity and delicate notes. Add some rich heritage to your holiday - and all year round - with A Dutch Masterpiece, especially when you follow their Facebook and Instagram @ADutchMasterpieceCheese so that you can create your own cheese board vision board.
