Irina her expectations beforehand almost couldn\u2019t be lower as her friend Stephanie \u2013 when seeing the cheese being unpacked \u2013 remarked that tasting it previously almost made her puke. Still, Irina remains brave and takes a tiny bite\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cI like the spicy thingies!\u201d, she says \u2013 referring to the small \u2018seeds\u2019, giving the cheese its particular taste. \u201dIt\u2019s like there is butter inside, but it\u2019s good.\u201d, Irina remarks. \u201cThe spicy seeds inside remind me of Oregano, don\u2019t know why.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then, she eats a full slice. \u201cNo seriously it\u2019s good! I like it better than the \u2018Gouda thing\u2019. I don\u2019t like cheese from Gouda at all, it doesn\u2019t have any taste. Why eating that in between a sandwich? But this one is good! I\u2019ll buy it next time. What is it called again?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI would recommend other students tasting it.\u201d, she reviews enthusiastically. \u201cYou should have brought some bread too for tasting now!\u201d<\/p>\n

Irina\u2019 score: 4,5<\/p>\n

1= I flushed it down the toilet<\/p>\n

2= If you bought it anyway, eat it, why not?<\/p>\n

3=Quite nice actually<\/p>\n

4=Really good food<\/p>\n

5=Best food I\u2019ve ever tasted<\/p>\n

The Product<\/p>\n

Komijnekaas comes in two kinds \u2013 which are slightly different: Goudse Komijnekaas en Leidse Komijnekaas. The Goudse Komijnekaas contains a bit more fat. Komijnekaas was originally invented to bring more variation in the assortment of Dutch cheeses available \u2013 by the means of mixing Komijn \u2018seeds\u2019 with the cheese, which give it more character. A day has been named after Komijnekaas currently in The Netherlands: April 12th \u2013 Komijnekaas Day.\u00a0<\/p>\n
