The Gourmet Dutch event isn’t just about celebrating food, although that in itself would be a reason to visit MLH next week. From 26 April to 28 April 2011, MLH will be the ultimate location to experience the Dutch culture and cuisine with the highlight of the event being gourmet cheeses and European wines.

To celebrate the Dutch Queen mother’s birthday known as Queen’s Day or Koninginnedag, MLH has created a three-day event, beginning with a gourmet cheese and European wine pairing event that will be held on 26 April and a gourmet Dutch dinner with Tom Miesen on 27 April.

MLH General Manager Anura Dewapura stated, “This festive month, we give you not only one but two reasons to indulge your taste buds. Enter the gourmet cheese tasting with Dutch Slow Food.” Slow Food is a movement with over 100,000 members worldwide, as well as a network of 2,000 food communities who practice small-scale and sustainable production of quality foods.

MLH being the pioneers in introducing the slow food concept to Sri Lanka, the Dutch slow food night will be a treat for all food enthusiasts who love good food, combined with even better company. The gourmet cheese tasting session with Dutch Slow Food will be held on 28 April 2012.

A huge selection of cheeses including Dutch goat cheese, Limburg Grotto cave cheese ‘Heuvelland,’ eemster and well- products like edam and gouda are just a few of the varieties that will be available. Furthermore, cheese connoisseur and wine sommelier Tom Miesen will give insights into the multifaceted cultural history of this very special milk product paired with the ideal wines by Autogrill Lanka Limited.
