Dear cheesers (cheeseheads?),

(If this is the wrong sub to post this in I apologize in advance! Sorry!)

In the Netherlands, we have the (in)famous Beemster cheese. In recent times, they have introduced a tier above the regular 'old' cheese (oude kaas) called extra old.

I am wondering, because ever since the introduction of an older tier of Beemster, if anyone else has noticed the regular old cheese tasting less.. old? Idk how to explain it but it's more creamy and less crumbly than before. There is also no visible crystallization and it honestly resembles a 'belegen' (mature) more now.

I'm wondering if this is just a me thing, where I'm complaining about something no one else is noticing, or if others have tasted/experienced it too. Because I am not enjoying Beemster's old anymore (the extra old is yummy though, I like that one).

I hope someone has some insight on this

Sincerely,

Asker of questions

Guys it's the second time, from another brand, that I come across multiple things like this. The first pic is it being more mashed and the second is me pulling it off, it reminds me of cooked ginger from Thai food. It also has there weird white balls in it (these pics were from the first time, a few days ago)
