The irresistible taste of Vlaskaas
What makes Vlaskaas so incredibly popular? The origin of this special cheese lies in an old tradition: it used to be specially made to celebrate the flax harvest. Fortunately, we can now enjoy it all year round! The cheese is prepared with the very best Beemster meadow milk and ripens in a traditional way. This results in an exceptionally smooth and creamy cheese with a deep, slightly sweet flavor that is surprisingly characterful.
A whole cheese wheel of this Beemster specialty is a spectacular eye-catcher at events, large parties or in the hospitality industry. Because Vlaskaas is made with vegetarian rennet, it is also an excellent choice for a broad audience. Cut generous cubes for the snack board, shave creamy slices for a luxurious sandwich or melt it over hot dishes. Bring a real piece of Dutch history into your home!
How do you cut a whole cheese?
Cutting a whole cheese may seem like a challenge, but with the right technique it is very simple. Use a professional cheese knife with two handles or cut the cheese step by step into manageable wedges. View the image below for the best way to divide your cheese wheel, so that you always get beautiful, even pieces.

Frequently Asked Questions about Whole Cheeses
Is Vlaskaas suitable for vegetarians?
Yes, absolutely! Vlaskaas is prepared with microbial (vegetarian) rennet instead of animal rennet. This makes the cheese perfectly suitable for a vegetarian diet.
How long can I keep a whole cheese?
A whole, uncut cheese in the original coating can often be kept outside the refrigerator for weeks to months, provided it is stored in a cool and dark place. As soon as the cheese is cut or vacuum-packed in pieces, store it in the refrigerator.
Is there a discount on a whole cheese?
Yes, certainly. Buying a whole wheel of cheese is proportionately always cheaper than buying individual pieces. Ideal for large consumers and parties!
Do you also sell other whole cheeses?
Absolutely! In addition to Vlaskaas, we have wheels of young, matured and various other specialties. View our complete category Whole Cheese to discover all large cheeses.
