Some of our favorite Dutch Cheeses, More Cheese from Holland Here |
 |
Aged Beemster:
The rarest yet most sought after Dutch cheeses are handmade on the farm.
One of these specially cured products has been made in the southern provinces of
The Netherlands for over 800 years. More Info! |
 |
Beemster:
This cheese from Northern Holland is a Dutch Gouda with some new twists.
Beemster takes the traditional Gouda recipe and adds a variety of
flavoring agents to the mix. Some of them are quite familiar to American
palates. More Info! |
 |
Chevrelait:
The name is a bit corny, but at least it's accurate. Chevrelait,
pronounced like the apple-pie American car company, is the combination of
the French words "Chevre" - meaning "goat", and "Lait"
- meaning "milk".

 |
Edam:
A cheese that defines Dutch culture, Edam is a mellow, savory, slightly
salty cheese that has a pale yellow interior with a red or yellow paraffin
coating.

other cheeses only dream of. A beguiling array of flavors tease the taste buds

Goat Gouda:
Henri Willig discovered that Gouda, the cheese people most commonly associate

Maasdam, often compared to Swiss Emmental, is a perfect
compliment for salads and sandwiches and is ideal for melting. More Info! |

Old Texel:
While Old Texel is a relatively new creation, first produced only 15 years
ago, it is called Old Texel because it is aged for over a year. Young Texel
would be a less aged variety of the same cheese.

some of the world's most modern dairy plants. The brown, smoky rind is not only

|
The Dutch have been producing cheese since before 400 AD. The
importance of cheese making increased as the process of cattle breeding
improved. In the Middle Ages official dairy markets and weigh houses were
introduced which controlled both the quality and the weight of the cheese. |
