Real farmer's cheese

Farmer's cheese is nothing other than cheese made from daily fresh, raw milk on a farm. The milk comes directly from the cow and therefore does not pass the factory first. Using traditional methods, farmers make unique, rich and powerful farmer's cheeses. In which all taste characteristics are preserved. Boerenkaas is a genuine farm cheese and may only bear the name 'Boerenkaas' if it is made from unheated milk.

The region and soil on which the cattle graze or the crops grow play a decisive role in the taste of farmers' cheese. The lore of the craft, recipe, local customs and ingredients also play an important role in the taste of farmhouse cheese. The bacteria present in the 'raw' milk give farm cheese its characteristic taste. This is the reason why farmhouse cheese never tastes exactly the same.

To sum up, farmer's cheese is in 5 points:

  • Hand-made
  • Artisanal
  • Traditionally matured
  • Authentic
  • Meets the KB quality mark (Quality Assurance Farmers' Cheese)

Every farmer's cheese tastes authentic

Because Dutch farmer's cheese is so pure and depends on the grass, the location of the farm and much more, one farmer's farmhouse cheese is not the same as another's. Even farmhouse cheese from the same farm can taste slightly different one time than the next. That's what makes farmer's cheese so authentic.

Is farmer's cheese healthy?

Frequently asked questions

What is farmer's cheese?

Farmer's cheese is a cheese traditionally made by the farmer. Raw milk that comes directly from the cow, goat, sheep or buffalo is used to make this cheese, often the same day. Farmers cheese is a genuine Dutch product and must comply with the KB quality mark (Kwaliteitszorg Boerenkaas).

Is farmer's cheese made from raw milk?

Farmer's cheese is always made from raw milk. Cheese made from raw milk has a more tangy and full flavour. It is not recommended for pregnant women to eat semi-hard and soft farmer's cheese. Hard farmer's cheese could be eaten though, this is because listeria cannot survive in the low moisture content of hard farmer's cheese.

What is the difference between ordinary cheese and farmhouse cheese?

The difference between 'ordinary' cheese and farmer's cheese is the milk used. Farmer's cheese is made from raw milk, 'ordinary' cheese is (almost) always made from pasteurised milk. Farmer's cheese is a traditional cheese made by hand, this is why the flavour can vary from cheese to cheese. 'Regular' cheese is made in a factory and therefore has minimal difference in taste per cheese.
