Beemster Farmers' Choice is the most consumed cheese in the Netherlands! It’s a crowd-pleaser, because it's creamy and buttery, and at the same time, offers tanginess on the finish, thanks to the six months it spends aging in our warehouse. With its beautiful golden yellow interior and smooth, semi-soft texture, Farmers’ Choice is a perfect introduction to Gouda-style cheeses for the newbie, while connoisseurs will love its classic flavor.
