CSRSinterklaas cheese: the original treat for Sinterklaas
Sinterklaas is around the corner again! That means cosiness, presents and of course... delicious treats. Are you ready for something new this year? Forget those standard chocolate letters for a moment, because we have something unique for you: the Sinterklaas cheese letter! A tasty surprise especially for all the cheese lovers among us!
Sinterklaas cheese letter as a new tradition
When you think of Sinterklaas, you probably think of pepernoten and chocolate. But why not put something savoury on the table? A cheese-letter for Sinterklaas is not only original, but also super tasty. Just imagine: your own initial, cut out of a piece of our best cheese. Now that is a festive treat!
How to make a Sinterklaas letter out of cheese?
- Choose your favourite cheese
Go for a firm cheese that is easy to cut. Our ;old goat's cheese or old ;cow's cheese are perfect options. They have a rich flavour and firm texture, ideal for making your Sinterklaas cheese letter. - Cut out the letter
Use a template of the desired letter and carefully cut the cheese into this shape. No template? No problem! Cut slices of cheese and place them in the shape of the letter on a nice board. For an extra festive effect, use different types of cheese to make multiple letters. - Create a festive presentation
Place the cheese letter on a nice cheese board and decorate with nuts, grapes, figs or a delicious ;cheese dip. This will really make it a showpiece on the table.
Why choose a cheese letter Sinterklaas?
- Original: Surprise your family and friends with something they haven't seen before. A cheese letter for Sinterklaas is a unique twist on traditional treats.
- Versatile: You can eat the cheese lump on its own, use it in recipes or as part of a drinks board.
- Festive: A cheese in the shape of a letter adds a festive touch to your Sinterklaas evening.

Sinterklaas cheese board
Make it a party this Saint Nicholas with a gourmet cheeseboard! A perfect cheese board for young and old alike. In the theme of Sinterklaas, we made a sinterklaas cheese letter but as a drinks board and here's how to make it: Take a nice board and put the different types of cheese on it. Put the cheese in an S shape on the board. We used the beautiful yellow Gouda&cheese for the letter. Place the dips between the cheeses and spread the nuts on the board. Further complete the board with some toasts or crackers and fig bread or fruit bread. Add some raw vegetables such as carrots, for example. Especially choose your own favourites! Sprinkle some nice sprinkles in between for that real Saint Nicholas feeling and don't forget the speculaas. Make sure the cheeses are at room temperature before serving.
Quesadillas with Courgette and Goat cheese
Quesadillas are a delicious and quick way to put a tasty meal on the table. In this recipe, we combine the creamy flavour of goat cheese with the fresh courgette and a hint of lemon for extra freshness. The quesadillas are grilled crisp in a pan or contact grill. Together with the spicy salsa, the quesadillas are perfect for a quick lunch, dinner or as an appetiser! Follow the steps below and make these delicious quesadillas in no time.
