The Aging Process
Good things take time. At Beemster, we respect the process. Our cheeses are never mass-produced and rushed to market.

When spring arrives, the Beemster cows instinctively become restless to be let loose to graze on the lush pastures of the Beemster polder.
Winning is always a great feeling. Especially when it is at the world's most prestigious competition: The World Cheese Awards.
A magnificent moment: Our new cheese dairy 'De Tijd' was officially opened last Thursday by our Queen Maxima.
At the International Cheese Awards in Nantwich, UK, our Beemster Royaal is awarded with the Bradburys award which represents the best Dutch cheese.
At their annual cheese contest, The authoritative Deutsche Landwirtschafts Gesellschaft (DLG) awarded four gold medals to Beemster cheeses, namely Beemster Medium, Beemster Aged, Beemster X-O- and Beemster Royaal.
For the second year in a row, Beemster has won the Superior Taste Award from the International Taste and Quality Institute.
We are extremely proud -of our farmers, our cows and our master cheese makers.
