Our cheese makers

Our cheesemakers are passionate about crafting the perfect cheeses with consistently outstanding quality. We do this at two production locations where craftsmanship and innovation come together. We continuously improve our production processes, with a strong focus on the efficient use of raw materials, energy, and water.

In Katwoude, next to the Willig family farm, you will find our traditional cheese dairy where our baby cheeses are produced. The milk from the cows is transported directly to the cheese dairy through underground pipelines. This eliminates the need for additional transport between the farm and the dairy, reducing diesel consumption and CO₂ emissions.

In Heerenveen, we operate a modern cheese dairy where our large cheese wheels are produced. Here, advanced and innovative technology goes hand in hand with centuries-old cheesemaking craftsmanship. The expertise of our cheesemakers is essential to maintaining our high quality standards. That is why modern technology is always complemented by human inspection. Every cheese receives its finishing touch by hand, one by one, with the application of the tissue wrap and our branded label. This gives every cheese a personal touch and ensures it is carefully inspected before leaving our cheese dairy.
