Named after Gouda, a city in the western Netherlands, today it is being produced all over the world. The Netherlands’ most famous cheese, Gouda has a mild, nutty flavor similar to Edam. Young Gouda has a more mild flavor and the cheese gets stronger as it ages. Round traditional wheel-shaped Gouda is produced with a rind of wax or plastic coating. Blocks are often produced rindless and it’s one of the most common cheeses for processing and slicing in Europe.

Gouda is produced in wheels of 4,5kg & 12kg, loafs approx. 3kg and 15kg blocks.

Our mild-fine Gouda cheese loaf is manufactured in Germany from fresh pasteurized milk. It’s a natural cheese without rind and packed in airtight cryovac to protect the cheese.

Our Gouda wheels are produced in the Netherlands, coated in wax, with or without different flavoring.

Maasdam cheese is a dutch cheese in a swiss-style made from pasteurized cow’s milk. It is aged for at least 4 weeks. Maasdam has holes from the ripening process, and a smooth yellow rind. The cheese was created to compete with the popular swiss Emmental.

In the process of making a cheese with the same general components as swiss cheese, the dutch ended up with a cheese that has a nutty and fruity aftertaste, but softer than Emmental. It is eaten young, and is delicious either as a snack or in a sandwich.

Maasdam is produced in wheels 12kg, loaves approx. 3kg and blocks 15kg.

Emmental cheese or swiss cheese originates from Switzerland. It was named after the river called Emme which is running in Emmental in the Switzerland alps. Tal is the German word for valley. The name Emmental Cheese is not a protected origin by name and therefore it is also manufactured in many other countries than Switzerland. The original Swiss Emmental is produced from unpasteurized cow’s milk, while other origins are typically produced from pasteurized milk. Emmental is typically produced either in approx. 90-100kg wheels (more than 1200 liters of milk is used for one cheese) with natural rind or approx. 90kg blocks, rindless.

Our German Emmental Cheese is manufactured in Bavaria in the South of Germany. It’s made from fresh pasteurized cow’s milk from the Allgäu Mountains. It’s a natural hard cheese with 45% fat in dry matter without any rind. During its maturation it develops the characteristic eye formation holes and its mild sweet nutty aroma.

Loaves packed in approx. 3 or 6kgs. 

The cheese is perfect for sandwiches and toasts. It’s also excellent together with red wine as a snack.

Cheddar cheese is a relatively hard, pale yellow to off-white (unless artificially colored), and sometimes sharptasting, cheese. Originating in the English village of Cheddar in Somerset, cheeses of this style are produced beyond this region and in several countries around the world. The cheese has been manufactured in this area since the Middle Ages.

The style is the most popular cheese in the United Kingdom, accounting for approx. 50 percent of the country’s annual cheese market, and the second most popular cheese in the United States, behind mozzarella.

The name “Cheddar cheese” is widely used and has no Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) within the European Union, but only Cheddar produced from local milk within four counties of South West England may use the name “West Country Farmhouse Cheddar”, it’s cylindrical-shaped, covered with weave and is often produced from unpasteurized cow milk in sizes up to approx. 27kg.

Cheddar for industrial usage is produced from pasteurized cow milk in 20kg rindless blocks, white or colored.

Cheddar is one of the most common cheeses for processing in the world due to its melting capabilities, taste and structure.

Our cheddar is block-shaped from various destinations/producers from all over the world depending on preference. It’s available in 2,5kg, 5kg, 10kg or 20kg foil wrapped, white or colored.

The term Mozzarella is used for several kinds of Italian cheeses that are made using spinning and then cutting (hence the name, as the Italian verb mozzare means “to cut”). Mozzarella belongs to the group of cheeses called “Pasta filata” = spun paste.

Today Mozzarella is produced globally and it’s one of the single biggest cheese types produced in the world.

• Mozzarella di Bufala (buffalo mozzarella), made from domesticated water buffalo milk.
• Mozzarella “fior di latte”, made from fresh pasteurized or unpasteurized cow’s milk.
• Low-moisture mozzarella, which is made from whole or part skimmed milk, and widely used in the food-service industry.

Fresh mozzarella is generally white, but may vary seasonally to slightly yellow depending on the animal’s diet. It is a semi-soft cheese. Due to its high moisture content, it’s traditionally served the day after it’s made, but can be kept in brine longer when sold in vacuum-sealed packages. Low-moisture mozzarella can be kept refrigerated for up to several months.

Mozzarella is used in the Foodservice sector in various shapes and conditions. Fresh, frozen, packed in vaccum, packed in brine, blocks, files, portions, shredded, fresh sliced, IQF sliced or shredded.

Grana Padano is PDO & CDO European protected, one of the most popular cheeses of Italy. The name comes from the noun grana (‘grain’), which refers to the distinctively grainy texture of the cheese, and the adjective Padano, which refers to the valley “Pianura Padana” (Po Valley).

Grana Padano is one of the world’s first hard cheeses, created nearly 1,000 years ago.

It is made in a similar way to the Parmigiano Reggiano of Emilia-Romagna but over a much wider area and with different regulations and controls. Parmigiano Reggiano can only be produced in a small limited area south of the river Po and under strict regulations.

Like Parmigiano Reggiano, Grana Padano is a semi-fat hard cheese which is ripened slowly, for at least 9 months. Grana Padano is produced with partly skimmed milk heated up to 53-56°C. It is produced year-round and the quality can vary seasonally as well as by year. Though similar to Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, the younger Grana Padano cheeses are less crumbly, milder and less complex in flavor than their more famous, longer-aged relative.

Parmigiano Reggiano is produced with no additives, Grana Padano doesn’t have the same restrictions.

A wheel of Grana Padano or Parmigiano Reggiano is cylindrical, with slightly convex or almost straight sides and flat faces. It weighs 24 to 40 kg (53 to 88 lbs) per wheel. The rind, which is thin, is white or straw yellow. The cheese is sold in different maturations up to 36 months. Grana can be sold from 8 months and Reggiano from 12 months, where the cheeses are controlled and classified by a certified representative from either of the two different consortiums.

Our Grana Padano & Parmigiano Reggiano can be found in all different maturations & packages from whole wheels (approx. 35kg) to retail packages of 50g.
