Using the residual product of cheese making creatively as a cheese maker

At Henri Willig, we know that we prefer to eat a variety of foods. Most people don't like to eat the same sandwich or meal every day. And with our Henri Willig cheese, there's no need to. With our innovative cheese flavours and cheese recipes, you can conjure up a surprising dish on the table every time. Whether for breakfast, lunch, dinner or over drinks.

Cheese and beer: the perfect match

We believe that cheese and beer always make a successful combination, especially during a cosy get-together. That is why we have developed our own Henri Willig beer using a residual product from cheese-making. This creative approachperfectly matches the innovative spirit of Henri Willig.

When making cheese, only about 1/10th of the milk is used. However, the residual product of cheese making, known as whey, offers endless possibilities for delicious creations. Whey is a liquid created when milk is curdled to produce cheese. During curdling, the proteins in the milk are separated from the liquid. Whey, the residual product of cheese, still contains a variety of nutrients, including lactose (milk sugar) and some proteins. We have used the whey to make our own speciality beers, which fits perfectly with our commitment to circularity.

The residual product of cheese making as inspiration for our beer cheese

As a progressive company, we even tried to make beer cheese with one of our speciality beers. Our cheesemakers love developing new flavours and this challenge was no exception. With the whey beer, our cheesemakers made a beer cheese. Just goes to show what you can do with the residual whey product that is created when making cheese. We have now included the beer cheese in our regular product range. We are proud to offer this special beer cheese!

Discover unique combinations

As the saying goes, 'there is no accounting for taste', and that is certainly true. Fortunately, we have an extensive range, so everyone can find something tasty with us. Even discover our beer cheese made from the by-product of cheese. Let yourself be surprised, too. For instance, did you know that chocolate goes excellently with cheese? Chocolate has earthy, nutty and sometimes even fruity flavours that go well with our cheeses.
