About Jong cheese

Jong cheese, a Dutch specialty, is a young, semi-soft cheese made primarily from cow’s milk. Originating in the Netherlands, it is notable for its mild flavor and smooth, creamy texture. As a fresh cheese, Jong has a high moisture content and is aged for only 4 weeks, keeping its taste delicate and slightly tangy. Nutritionally, it is rich in calcium and protein, supporting bone health and muscle growth. Compared to older cheeses, Jong contains less salt and fat, making it a lighter option. However, it is still a source of saturated fat, so moderation is key for a balanced diet. This cheese pairs well with breads, fruits, or as part of a cheese platter, adding versatility to various cuisines. Ideal for those seeking mild flavors, Jong cheese is a gateway to the diverse world of Dutch cheesemaking.
