‘Meikaas’ is known for being the first fresh cheese after the winter season. After the winter the cows are able to go outside again and eat fresh spring grass. During the 40’s it was a very popular cheese, and available everywhere. You can find ‘Meikaas’ in almost all the cheese stores in or near Amsterdam. Traditionally eaten with rye and butter, however I love to add radishes & cress for some spice.
