At Bruey, Machuca tried Beemster cheese for the first time—Beemster XO with a cup of Intelligentsia coffee. “There were these butterscotch, caramel, and salty flavors from the cheese that melded with cocoa notes from the coffee. It’s crazy how well it all came together.”
“It was delicious, like no other cheese I’ve ever tried. That nuttiness, that creaminess! It also has a great sweetness to it, like caramel. Overall, it’s a perfect cheese.”

Although Brunson sees himself first as a “meat guy,” he has a special place in his heart for Beemster.
