Leerdammer cheese
When I think about Leerdammer, I remember the commercial when I was a kid growing up in France: “Leerdammer ou j’fais un malheur” that you could translate loosely by “Leerdammer or I am gonna get mad”. Created by two dutchmen in 1974, Cees Boterkooper and Bastiaan Baars, this lactose free, semi-hard cheese made from cow’s milk is aged from 3 to 12 months, the aging giving it a more nutty flavor. Produced by Président, one of the largest cheese producers in the world, it is set to launch in the US, being available in stores like Keyfoods, Foodtown, AGS and Tops. So, if you see it, try it, and when you ask for it, give it a bit of flair by pronouncing it the dutch way: Lee-er-dom-err!
