    Gouda-style goat cheese combines the traditional techniques of Gouda cheese-making with the distinctive qualities of goat's milk, delivering a delicate, creamy tasting cheese with a subtle tanginess that is characteristic of goat's milk cheese. With a lighter, fresher flavour profile than cow’s milk gouda, this cheese offers gentle earthy notes and hints of sweetness, and may over time, develop a slightly nutty undertone depending on the aging process and specific characteristics of the milk. Enjoyed on its own as a table cheese, paired with fruits or honey, or melted on any dish where its creamy texture and subtle tang can enhance the overall taste experience. 🧀 🐐

    Mild Edam is another smooth textured, subtle flavoured, classic Dutch cheese. Made from cow’s milk, this pale-yellow, semi-hard cheese is most often recognized by its distinctive round shape and bright wax coating which certainly adds to its visual appeal. Enjoyed both as a table cheese and in various dishes, it pairs well with fruits, crackers or crusty bread. Its taste is mild compared to aged varieties, gentle and creamy with a hint of sweetness and a subtle nuttiness, making it versatile. Slice it, grate it or melt it, its mild flavor makes it suitable for a wide range of palates and culinary uses.

    🚨 COMING SOON 🚨 Dutch Maasdam Created as an alternative to Emmental, Maasdam cheese with its distinctive large, maturing holes scattered throughout, is made from pasteurized cow’s milk and is smooth in texture with a mild, slightly nutty flavor and a hint of sweetness. Just like our Dutch goudas, Maasdam cheese is a versatile cheese that can be used in a variety of dishes. Sliced for sandwiches, grated over pasta dishes, or served on cheese boards alongside fruits, nuts, and crusty bread, this cheese with its mild flavour makes it a favorite among cheese lovers seeking a balance of flavor and texture. 🧀

    🚨 COMING SOON 🚨 Gouda-style chili cheese offers up a spicy kick. It’s your smoothy creamy gouda, complemented by small flecks or streaks of chili sambal throughout. Infused with chili sambal, a spicy condiment with Southeast Asian roots, gouda-style chili cheese delivers a balance of your traditional buttery Gouda notes with chili heat and aromatic spices, making it a great choice for those who enjoy spicy foods. Add a fiery kick to cheese platters, sandwiches, and burgers or melt it into sauces or grate it over dishes like nachos or pasta for an extra layer of flavor. It’s the best of Dutch tradition and spicy international flavours. 🌶 🧀

    Spiced Cumin Gouda - For those who enjoy cheeses with a bit of spice and complexity. Infused with cumin seeds, this delightful, aromatic spiced variation adds an extra layer of flavour to traditional gouda. It can pair wonderfully with crusty bread, crackers, or fruit preserves or added to dishes for an extra kick of flavour. The combination of a warm, earthy, and slightly peppery taste with buttery and nutty notes of this creamy based cheese, complement each other to give you a savoury experience, that is both flavourful and aromatic. 🧀

    We launched our newly sized products at Foodland Midland with a sampling, and they quickly sold due to their more affordable pricing and great salesman behind the table cooking up a storm. The success of our new strategy is evident from the repeat orders we've received within the passed weeks! During the sampling up north, I had many amazing interactions with customers and staff that highlighted the quality of our product and the appeal of our new pricing. It's not shrinkflation; we've passed the savings to the retailers, who, in turn, have passed them on to their customers! Same amazing recipe JUST in a new size ! This wouldn’t be possible without the support of our distributor Jan K. Overweel and ALL our amazing suppliers, from our farmers ingredients to our glass and labels ! Thank you to everyone who have supported us and believed in our brands and company !
