^{_{What makes Beemster cheese so special?}}

The quality of Beemster cheese starts at the source: the milk and the environment.

Milk from North Holland cows
The cows graze on average 180 days a year, 10 hours a day outdoors, which provides full and flavorful milk.

Unique polder soil
The clay soil in the Beemster gives the milk and thus the cheese a characteristic, rich flavor.

Creamy mouthfeel
Each Beemster cheese has a distinctive creamy and ‘smedig’ character.

Often vegetarian
Most Beemster cheeses are made with microbial (vegetarian) rennet.
