History and uniqueness

The purple lavender cheese is a typical Dutch product, but eating it makes you feel like you’re in the South of France. This delicious farmers cheese is enriched with the Mediterranean spices thyme, rosemary and of course lavender. For the production of this cheese they only use thermized meadow milk that comes from Dutch cows. This results in a very pure and natural taste.

This purple lavender cheese (paarse lavendel kaas) is produced on a farm, using traditional techniques, and is therefor 100% natural. Cheese how cheese was meant to be, except with a Mediterranean twist. This makes you feel like you on a holiday in the sunny South, whether you eat it in cubes, combined with a good glass of wine, or in slices on your daily toast.

50+ purple lavender cheese is naturally ripened on wooden shelves, during 4 to 10 weeks. It’s very easy to cut, as well in cubes as in slices, which makes it suitable for many occasions. Children usually love the addition of the herbs, because it adds more flavor, but still tastes quite mild.
