How do we craft Old Amsterdam?

Old Amsterdam is not an ordinary cheese. It is a flavor with character, born from courage, craftsmanship, and a touch of Italian inspiration. We mature not by age, but by taste – cold and warm – for a unique sensation with ripening crystals and a lightly sweet undertone. Every slice tells the story of pioneering spirit, of daring to deviate from tradition and choosing what is truly delicious. Discover how we craft cheese with passion and precision that enriches life.

Did you know?

Old Amsterdam is sold worldwide in more than 62 countries.

And in the Netherlands alone, we sell 6,500 kilos of cheese per day! That equals 4.57 kilos per minute – or 5.5 slices per Dutch person.

WHAT MAKES OLD AMSTERDAM SO SPECIAL?

Old Amsterdam is a premium Gouda full of character with savory depth and subtly sweet notes. The recipe is a closely guarded secret, rooted in traditional aging methods yet refined with a modern twist. You can recognize Old Amsterdam by three signature qualities:
  • Savory with subtly sweet notes
  • Ripening crystals
  • Creamy and sliceable

Bold & full of flavor
