Cheese biscuits made from aged cheese

Can you also use young cheese for cheese biscuits?

Yes, you can! However, the result may turn out slightly different. Young cheese is milder and moister than old cheese, which often makes the cheese biscuits less crunchy and the flavour more subtle. If you make the cheese biscuits from old cheese, you will often get a crispier and tastier flavour anyway. If you use old cheese, you usually get a crispier texture and a more powerful, richer flavour.

Still prefer young cheese?
No problem! Here are a few tips for best results:

• Grate the cheese as finely as possible so that it mixes well with the flour.
• If necessary, add some extra salt and herbs to enhance the mild flavour, such as paprika, mustard powder or nutmeg.

Serving & variation tips:

• Mini cheese burgers: How about little cheese burgers? Use two cheese biscuits as "bread" and fill with, for example, a slice of cucumber, tomato and a cube of cheese or hummus.
• Savoury pastry: Top a large cheese biscuit with a mixture of herb cream cheese, rocket, sun-dried tomato-for a quick, fancy bite.
• Wine & beer: Cheesecakes are delicious with a glass of full-bodied red wine, a crisp wine, or even a hearty speciality beer. Have you tried a Henri Willig speciality beer before?
