The so called Dutch ‘graskaas’, literally ‘grassy cheese’, is a particular sort of cheese that is made with the milk of cows that have been put away in stables throughout the winter period, but have just been released into the meadows. These cows now eat grass instead of the provender that they have been given in the winter months. Because of this change of diet the milk these cows now provide is particularly good, and thus the grassy cheese that is made with such milk is tastier as well.

You may be surprised to hear it, but there is a new piece of Dutch glory hidden in an old bunker in the province of Twente. This is the ripening location of the Twentse Bunker cheese. The conditions in the bunker, the ripening process of about 7 months and the special recipe provide a slightly spicy, full and creamy taste. It is a semi-hard cheese weighing 16 kilos which is at its most delicious after about 25 weeks of ripening: a full and creamy taste, with a spicy and nutty undertone. In addition to the classic Twentse Bunker cow’s cheese, there is also the Twentse Bunker goat’s cheese.

The best cheese in the world

If you want to try the best cheese in the world you have come to the right place. In 2012 the Vermeer cheese was chosen as the tastiest cheese at the International Cheese Contest. It has a full taste, but isn’t as fat or salty as many other Dutch cheeses. This cheese is naturally ripened which gives it its amazing taste.
