This cheese is every bit as good as it sounds! Basiron is a creamy-tasting, gouda-style Dutch cheese jazzed up with pesto. Perfectly balanced and extremely addictive, this glitzy cheese "shows off" for Christmas, St. Patrick's Day, or almost any occasion. Its ingredients include pasteurized cow's milk, vegetarian rennet, and pesto (basil and garlic). It has 50% fat in dry matter and is aged approximately 5-6 weeks for a firm, yet youthful texture. The Veldhuyzen family in Holland, whose cheese making tradition dates back to the 1800s, makes a variety of innovative cheeses.

Although Basiron is a show stopper on the cheese board, its festive color is always ready to complement a tray of vegetables or equally colorful cheeses such as red-waxed gouda or edam. For a bright and flavorful dish with a twist of flavors, shred Basiron over gnocchi or pasta smothered in your favorite pasta sauce.
  • Made from pasteurized cow's milk.
  • Suitable for vegetarians.
  • Photo depicts whole 10 lb. form of cheese.
  • We cut and wrap this item by the half pound.
  • Please contact us if you would like to purchase the whole form.

Basiron - 5 Stars

"A spectacular cheese and a delightful selection for the table and kitchen. This cheese is great as an appetizer and was served in this early Summer with Budweiser Beer with natural lime flavor(BL). I also sliced the cheese and used it in my recipe of chicken cutlets stuffed with salami. The salami and a slice of swiss cheese were folded into the chicken cutlets. The cutlets were topped with the sliced ba..." Read Full Review »

"I discovered this cheese in Amsterdam two months ago and I love this cheese! It's great by itself and wonderful melted down to sauce consistency in a little olive oil and poured over fettucine. The perfect marriage of pesto and cheese. The color is a "show-stopper." [...] "

"This is a real find for paninni fans. It also adds color (all natural) to cheese trays. Try it on crackers or fresh crusty bread topped with pine nuts; enjoy it in cheese dips and salads; sprinkle it on hot/cold penne pasta - add sun dried tomatoes and olive oil for a tasty and colorful dish.

"I just love it straight from the package, as a snack in itself. It's flavor is fairly intense, so don't use it with a more delicate-flavored dish as the cheese may overpower it. Tastes very "from-the-garden" fresh, so it works well in a salad. "

"I ordered this for a Super Bowl Party. Everyone loved it and wanted more immediately. We just served it with crackers, but it would be amazing on pasta. Imagine the best pesto you've ever tasted, but in a more substantial form. It had a wax layer that was a little hard to remove, but so well wor …"  Read Full Review »
