Beemster Hatch Pepper Cheese Wheel, 10 Lbs

When the pastoral serenity of a Dutch polder meets the fiery spirit of the American Southwest, you get the Beemster Hatch Pepper Cheese Wheel. This is not your average grocery store "pepper jack"; this is a gourmet Hatch chili Gouda with a pedigree. Beemster's master cheesemakers have taken their legendary, creamy base and folded in authentic, fire-roasted Hatch green chilies from New Mexico. The result is a bold spicy cheese that doesn't just burn—it smolders with a smoky, buttery complexity.

The cheese is a striking sight, its pale-gold paste flecked with vibrant green bits of chili. It is the ultimate "party starter" cheese; it’s approachable enough for the kids but has enough of a "kick" to satisfy the spice-seekers in your friend group. If you're looking to add a bit of "yee-haw" to your luxury charcuterie board, this wheel is your best friend. It’s a limited-edition cheese vibe that tells your guests you’re not afraid to mix traditions to find the perfect flavor.
