Mild and creamy at a Young age, but as an older cheese also strong, full of character and let’s just say ‘sheepish’: sheep cheese is a delicious 50+ cheese which will suit most preferences of taste. Furthermore, sheep cheese is a source of Omega 3, vitamin D and calcium. And as if this all is not enough, this cheese is produced in the unparalleled idyllic scene of the most northern part of North Holland.

Since 2001 Nico and Irma Verduin of the Westfiesedijk have been running a dairy sheep farm which produced high quality sheep cheese in a socially responsible manner and in a modern and profitable way. The farm covers 26 hectares of meadow of which 20 hectares is a nature reserve which houses a variety of breeding birds: which obviously makes grazing so much nicer for their 700 dairy sheep.

Extraordinarily creamy, soft and pure: Young goat’s cheese in a velvet treat for the tongue. Very easily digestible, so ideal to consume any time of day. A bit pale? This is because the goats convert all carotene (natural colorant) into vitamin A – therefore a healthy cheese!
