Brandrood Cheese
Brandrood cattle are an old Dutch breed. The cattle is farmed on the Kernhem estate in Ede.
All milk produced by these magnificent animals is turned into cheese. It produces a hard cheese weighing 11 - 18kg and aged for at least 6 months under special conditions.
Brandrood are real, pure cows, characteristics that are also found in the cheese they produce. It is an original cheese with a natural rind and a pronounced soft nutty flavour with a lasting after taste.
This cheese available from Lindenhoff.

Baked Ricotta
Ingredients
500 g tub fresh ricotta
1 red chilli
1 small bunch tarragon
1 small bunch flat leaf parsley
1 small bunch chives
4 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper
Method
Preheat the oven to 180° C. Finely chop the herbs. Remove the seeds from the chili and chop finely too. Mix all the herbs and chilli together.
Gently unmould the ricotta on to a greased baking tray. Season the ricotta with salt and pepper and using your hands, gently press the herb and chili mix on to the ricotta. Drizzle with the olive oil and place in the oven for about 15 minutes. In this time the ricotta will firm up.
Remove the ricotta from the oven and slice wedges. Serve with a green salad and some freshly baked bread.
Tip: If possible, we recommend using the organic ricotta from Lindenhoff. It's flavour and texture are far superior to anything you'll buy in the supermarkets.
