Dutch Cheeses

Dutch Cheeses: Centuries of Dairy Mastery

The Netherlands has perfected the art of cheesemaking over eight centuries, creating varieties that are celebrated globally yet remain distinctly Dutch in character. Discover aged Gouda that defies expectation - not the mild supermarket version, but 36-month farmhouse wheels with crystalline crunch and deep, caramelised complexity. Experience authentic Edam at its finest, far removed from the red-waxed export version, revealing nutty sweetness and smooth texture. Savour speciality varieties like cumin-spiked Leyden, carrying on medieval spice trade traditions, or intensely flavoured Old Amsterdam that commands respect.

Dutch cheesemaking combines meticulous technique with exceptional milk from Holstein-Friesian cows grazing lush polders. Our selection features only boerenkaas - farmhouse cheese - from renowned producers whose families have made cheese for generations. Each wheel is crafted in small batches, aged with patience, and selected at its optimal maturity. Perfect for sophisticated cheese platters that showcase genuine Dutch character, or discovering how extraordinary traditional Dutch cheese can be when made without compromise. This is Dutch cheesemaking at its most refined and authentic.
