Holland's Family Cheese Introduces Marieke Golden, A New Semi-Soft Cheese

THORP, Wis. – Holland's Family Cheese introduces Marieke Golden, a new, semi-soft cheese celebrating the Penterman family's Dutch heritage while capturing the distinct character of Wisconsin's terrior.

Crafted from rBGH-free cow's milk and vegetable rennet and carefully cured on Dutch pine planks in the aging cellars, Marieke Golden develops a creamy mouthfeel rich in nuttiness with hints of sweet fruit. This raw milk beauty has a freshness that is unrivaled; using milk piped straight into the processing vat after the first milking of the day where it is made into cheese within mere hours. Its soft, buttery texture and pleasantly sweet aroma result in a new American classic.

Marieke Golden is a natural on a cheese board or serves well as a cooking cheese. It is perfect for melting on omelets, quiches or atop egg sandwiches. Try serving it with cured meats, olives, dried apricots and spiced nuts and pair it with a brown ale or buttery Chardonnay.
