It’s a Vintage Van Gogh, Signed by Roth Käse

(Now available as "Double Aged')

MONROE, Wisconsin—How to describe a Van Gogh? When it’s Vintage Van Gogh from the cellars of Roth Käse, it simply comes down to this: a most satisfying flavor with clearly defined notes of caramel and a firm but creamy golden body.  Though usually aged for 6 to 8 months, Roth Käse announces the availability of double aged Vintage Van Gogh that has been cured for 18 months and more. 

“We use fresh, full-cream milk selected primarily from herds of Jersey and Holstein cows that produce especially rich, creamy milk,” says President Steve McKeon.  “This results in a luscious cheese that has 4 to 5 percent more butter fat than regular Gouda.”

The additional aging (double aging that is) is conducted under the watchful eyes of Roth Käse’s master cheesemakers. The result is a truly handsome cheese with a brown coat.  Its memorable flavor and texture have won Vintage Van Gogh 1st and 2nd Place Honors over the years at both state and national levels.

It’s also what puts Vintage Van Gogh at the center of impressive cheese plates, paired with tart-sweet dried cranberries and cherries, almonds, cashews or pecans. Offered with a mellow Merlot, Vintage Van Gogh demonstrates its true mastery. And did we mention that it melts beautifully gratinée-style? See the attached recipe for proof.

Vintage Van Gogh is just one of Roth Käse’s range of superb cheeses, each hand-crafted by master cheesemakers according to traditional techniques. With roots in Switzerland, Roth Käse is now a leading manufacturer and marketer of handcrafted, award-winning specialty cheeses in Monroe, WI, making only the highest quality, best tasting cheeses.
