Leyden (or Leidse kaas) is a firm, semi-hard Dutch cheese known for its distinct tangy flavor and spicy aroma, derived from the addition of cumin seeds. Made from pasteurized cow's milk, it is similar to Gouda in shape but has a lower fat percentage and a sharper, spicier taste that intensifies with age. The cumin seeds provide a tangy, spicy flavor and aromatic scent, with the little seeds adding a crunchy texture. Leyden cheese is excellent on a cheese platter, with dark breads, or used in sandwiches and soups. It pairs well with spicy-sweet honey mustard, red wine, or dark, malty beers.
Real reviews from The Cheese Store of Beverly Hills Google Business Profile. Curated by Dom and his team since 1967.
Domenico and his team are fantastic. I’m a chef and I often get my supplies from The Cheese Store — unique products, carefully selected, from top Italian and French cheeses to excellent local ones.
Absolutely loved the cheese store! Everyone was super helpful and friendly. Lena helped us — she was very knowledgeable on all the cheeses: where they came from, what the region is like, what they are known for. It was like wine tasting for cheese.
Ordered several cheeses from them and the wrong items were delivered. Contacted the store and they recognized the error and immediately sent the correct order the next day without any fuss. Really appreciate the promptness and professionalism.
