Artisan production and world class

The Beemster Royaal Grand Cru owes its unprecedented success to a unique combination of factors. It all starts in the Dutch Beemster polder, where the cows graze freely on mineral-rich sea clay. This produces milk that is naturally exceptionally rich, soft and creamy. The cheese is then given all the time it needs to ripen peacefully on traditional wooden boards. During this long ripening process, the cheese is continuously turned and checked by experienced master cheesemakers. Only the very best cheeses, those that achieve the perfect balance between smoothness and piquancy, are awarded the prestigious Grand Cru designation.

It is therefore no surprise that this masterful cheese was named the very best cheese in the world in Wisconsin in 2026! With every bite you taste a rich palette of flavours: from sweet caramel notes to a deep, nutty finish. The cheese also contains delightful, fine ripening crystals that provide a light crunch, while the paste still melts beautifully softly on the tongue. The absolute crowning glory of any luxurious cheese board and the perfect companion to a robust red wine or a rich port. Thanks to our professional vacuum packaging, we cut this piece of world class fresh for you and its championship-worthy flavour is optimally preserved during transport.
