Traditional Quality

Henri Willig's cheeses have been produced, packaged and delivered in-house since 1974. Our dedicated cheese makers use traditional cheese-making processes and the final product undergoes rigorous quality checks before it makes its way to the store. Henri Willig's cheeses can also be bought at Henri Willig cheese farms, which are visited by over one million national and international tourists every year.

Our brands: Henri Willig, Hooidammer en Polderkaas

Henri Willig's cheeses are sold under three different brand names: Henri Willig, Hooidammer and Polderkaas. The most well-known Henri Willig cheeses are the exclusive 'baby cheeses' in their brightly coloured packaging, such as Baby Gouda 48+. Polderkaas is a typically Dutch quality cheese available in specialist stores and supermarkets in the Netherlands and neighbouring countries. Hooidammer is an original Dutch organic cheese made exclusively for eco shops.

Our cheese dairy

In order to meet the demand by Dutch and international customers, our production facility in Heerenveen produces thousands of cheeses each day. In addition to the regular varieties of Dutch, baby and organic cheeses, such specialties as Polderkaas, Polderkaas Biologisch and Hooidammer are made.

Henri Willig produces, packages and supplies to wholesalers and shops in over 30 countries. The cheese farms also make cheese for the many visitors from all over the world, just like it all started forty years ago in the Jacobs Hoeve farm in Katwoude.
