This is an original Beemster cheese from the Netherlands:

Beemster cheese gets its name from Holland’s oldest polder the Beemster. Various species of grass grow in this area of reclaimed land and they give Beemster cheese a specific taste. The cheese is available in four different kinds, namely; young matured, matured, extra matured and old. All Beemster cheeses have a distinctive salty and creamy touch to their flavour. Traditionally, the cheese is used particularly as a sandwich topping, but it is just as enjoyable as a snack.
