Built on the rich heritage of more than 115 years of cheesemaking and using milk from small, sustainable family farms, we create many irresistible cheeses, from our X.O. 26 month aged Gouda to our younger 4 month matured wheels.

“Along with the World Cheese Championships in Wisconsin, the World Cheese Awards are the most important cheese competition in the world,” says Marcel Vantuyn, Beemster’s Managing Director. “The awards are an endorsement of the hard work we do every day. It starts with how the farmers tend to their fields and their dairy cows, then continues to the unique process that our cheesemakers use to make our cheese. From beginning to end, we do everything in-house to make sure our cheese is perfect. It’s very nice to be recognized for our vertical integration, dedication, and commitment.”
