Artisanal preparation and world-class quality

The Beemster Royaal Grand Cru owes its unprecedented success to a unique combination of factors. Everything starts in the Dutch Beemsterpolder, where the cows graze freely on mineral-rich marine clay. This provides milk that is naturally exceptionally rich, soft and creamy. The cheese is then given plenty of time to mature peacefully on traditional wooden planks. During this long ripening process, the cheese is continuously turned and monitored by experienced master cheesemakers. Only the very best cheeses, which achieve the perfect balance between smoothness and piquancy, are awarded the prestigious Grand Cru predicate.

It is therefore no surprise that this masterful cheese was named the absolute best cheese in the world in Wisconsin in 2026! With every bite you taste a rich palette of flavors: from sweet caramel notes to a deep, nutty finish. Moreover, the cheese contains delicious, fine ripening crystals that provide a light crunch, while the dairy still melts beautifully soft on the tongue. An absolute crown on any luxurious cheese board and the perfect companion to a sturdy red wine or a rich port. Thanks to our professional vacuum packaging, we cut this world-class piece fresh for you and the champion-worthy taste is optimally preserved during transport.
