The holidays are the ideal time to enjoy special flavours and moments together. With the Henri Willig Advent Calendar, you will discover something delicious and surprising every day. From artisanal cheeses and tasty dips to festive treats and handy accessories: this Advent Calendar is a true culinary journey through the world of Henri Willig! From 9 to 24 December, a new item will unfold every day to enrich your cheese tasting or Christmas dinner. At the end of the calendar, you will have everything you need for a beautiful cheese board and special combinations for Christmas! We hand-wrap each present, making it an extra special gift. Use the calendar yourself or give it as a gift and experience a December full of flavour and conviviality together.
Please note that the exact composition may vary slightly depending on availability.
We start the advent calendar with the bamboo cheese board. This sturdy board will form the basis for the upcoming tastings and complete any cheese experience.
Today we add an essential tool to your cheese experience: the wooden cheese slicer. With it, you will effortlessly shave thin slices of the delicious cheeses in the calendar. Tip: with a cheese slicer, you can also easily shave thin slices of, for example, cucumbers and carrots.
We make a gentle start with the organic Supreme Goat's Cheese. This cheese has a nutty, slightly sweet flavour and is full of ripening crystals. The cheese offers a creamy flavour experience, delicious on its own or with something crunchy.
The crispy cheese biscuits add a tasty crunch to your cheese tasting and are a perfect complement to yesterday's Supreme Goat Cheese.
The rich, spicy flavour of pesto in a Gouda cheese. With its beautiful green colour, this cheese adds a surprising twist to any cheeseboard or festive dish.
A subtle balance between sweet and tangy: this mustard pairs perfectly with our cheeses, but also gives a tasty twist to meat or game dishes. A perfect ingredient for Christmas!
Time for a bubble! This Gouda cheese is a unique combination of our creamy Gouda cow's cheese with the delicate flavour of sparkling wine. Although its taste is reminiscent of a festive glass of bubbly, the cheese contains no alcohol, so you can enjoy it to your heart's content.
A handy tool for honey, soon to appear in the calendar. With the honey turner, you can easily add a touch of sweetness to different cheeses or dishes.
Henri Willig's Flower Honey is sourced from Dutch beekeepers across the country. Honey is not only delicious in tea, cakes and many recipes; honey also tastes delicious with cheese. The sweetness contrasts nicely with the saltiness of cheese. Therefore, this honey will come in handy during the holidays!
The Trio Formaggio Cheese Grater makes grating your favourite cheese easy. This table grater has three 'types' of grating in it: fine, coarse and for shreds. Whether you're serving carpaccio, pasta or soup: this grater makes it easy to finish your dish.
Hip hip hurrah, today is founder Henri Willig's birthday! It was a special year for Henri, because this year we also celebrated the 50th anniversary of Henri Willig Cheese. This golden anniversary cheese was specially developed in honour of our anniversary, with Henri's favourite whisky. The whisky gives this 3-month aged cow's cheese a rich and very special flavour.
These dips add an explosion of flavour to your board! Perfect to pair with the delicious cheeses and cheese biscuits from the calendar, for an extra dimension in flavours. Also delicious on a baguette at Christmas dinner, or use the Tomato Tapenade as a base for a Bruschetta.
The award-winning Pure Gold has been selected by Wiebe Willig as his favourite cheese. Naturally matured for several months and therefore intensely rich in flavour with a sweet undertone. To combine endlessly with!
Black garlic is created by fermenting fresh garlic. In this process, the garlic turns black and acquires a sweeter flavour. The black garlic pearls are special umami flavours, delicious with drinks on a nice cheese curl, but also delicious on a slice of cheese or with a nice dish.
On day 15, you'll find a surprise in the Advent calendar that will get you off to a great start in 2025.
A festive end to Christmas Eve! The fresh Appelsprankel is the ultimate finale, refreshingly ending the tasting you can put together with the Advent Calendar, or toasting to Christmas.
