What is A2A2 cheese?
A2A2 cheese, often simply called A2 cheese, is a special type of cheese made from milk with a specific protein structure. Regular cow's milk today usually contains a mix of A1 and A2 beta-casein proteins. A2 milk, however, comes from cows that naturally produce exclusively the A2 protein. This original milk is often much easier for the human body to process, which means that people with sensitive digestion often tolerate this cheese much better.
The taste of original milk cheese
Besides the digestive benefits, A2A2 cheese is also known for its fantastic taste. Because this cheese is mostly made traditionally and with great love for the cow and nature, you can really taste the pure meadow herbs. The cheese is remarkably creamy, soft, and full of character. Whether you eat it on a fresh sandwich, serve it as a snack with drinks, or use it to gratinate a delicious dish: A2 cheese is a true delicacy.

FAQ – A2A2 Cheese (A2 Cheese)
What is the difference between regular cheese and A2A2 cheese?
The difference lies in the proteins of the milk. Regular cow's milk contains both A1 and A2 proteins. A2A2 cheese is made exclusively from milk from special cows that naturally produce only the A2 protein. This original protein is often much easier for the human digestive system to process.
Is A2 cheese suitable for people with lactose intolerance?
Not directly. A2 milk and young A2 cheese still contain lactose (milk sugar). However, some people who experience discomfort with dairy do not react to the lactose, but specifically to the A1 protein in regular milk. For them, A2 cheese is a great solution. Are you looking for something 100% lactose-free? Then choose our extra matured or old Gouda cheeses, where the lactose has naturally disappeared due to the long ripening process.
Why is it called 'original' or 'heritage' milk?
A very long time ago, all cows produced exclusively A2 milk. Due to natural mutations, crossbreeding, and breeding programs in the past, the A1 protein entered the milk of most modern cows. Milk that, just like in the old days, contains exclusively the A2 protein is therefore often referred to as original milk or heritage milk.
Does A2 cheese taste different from normal cheese?
A2A2 cheese generally tastes like a delicious, artisanal Gouda farmer's cheese. Many cheese lovers even find A2 milk cheese to be extra creamy and full of flavor, which is due to the high-quality meadow milk and the careful, authentic preparation.
Will my A2 cheese be shipped fresh?
Yes, we cut your A2 cheese fresh from the large round cheese wheel immediately after you place your order. It is then securely vacuum-packed and shipped with special cooling packs, ensuring you receive maximum quality and freshness upon arrival.
