What is a cheese wheel?

A cheese wheel is a large, round block of cheese typically made using traditional methods. Known for their size and longevity, cheese wheels are perfect for expats who want to stock up on authentic Dutch cheese. Their robust form and natural rind ensure a longer shelf life, making them ideal for international shipping and extended storage.

The heritage of Dutch cheese wheels

Cheese wheels have been a cornerstone of Dutch dairy traditions for centuries. Originating from regions like Gouda and Edam, they embody the craftsmanship and quality that Dutch cheese is famous for. The production process combines age-old techniques with modern quality standards, ensuring every cheese wheel from Holland is of the highest caliber.
