Passendale cheese

Passendale cheese presents a rounded shape similar to a bread loaf, featuring a brown rind with white spots and a golden interior with small holes.

The Donck family initiated cheese production in 1932 in Passendale, later introducing their signature cheese named 'de Groot Hof-Grand'Ferme' in 1978.

The cheese reflects Belgian dairy expertise through three variations: Prelude for standard consumption, Classic with a brushed rind, and Bel Age for extended maturation.

This semi-soft cheese maintains a 28 percent fat content and requires refrigeration to preserve its firm yet damp consistency and mild flavor profile.

The production process involves pasteurized cow's milk and specific aging techniques, resulting in a sweet aroma and creamy texture suitable for spreading.
