Cheese with character
What makes Kaasboerderij Janmaat special is their unwavering commitment to traditional cheese-making. Their cheese is made from raw, unpasteurized milk, preserving its rich, full flavor. You can truly taste the difference. No artificial colors or preservatives—just pure, natural cheese.The selection is impressive, ranging from classic farm cheese to unique variations infused with cumin, fenugreek, paprika, and garden herbs. Each cheese is carefully crafted with love and attention. Visitors in spring or summer can enjoy their famous graskaas—a soft, creamy cheese made from the milk of cows that have just started grazing on fresh grass again. The September graskaas is perfect for aging into a beautifully matured cheese.
At Kaasboerderij Janmaat, animal welfare is a top priority. The cows graze outdoors as much as possible and are raised with sustainability and environmental care in mind. This responsible approach to farming is reflected in the quality of their products—honest, artisanal, and locally produced.
