Boerenkaas is a smooth, approachable artisan cheese with a sweet, nutty character and a gently tangy finish. It has become one of the foundation cheeses in the Natural Pastures collection, providing the starting point for several of our best-known cheeses.
From the Boerenkaas recipe comes our Aged Farmhouse, which is matured longer to develop a firmer, more complex character; Smoked Boerenkaas, which is smoked on-site with local hardwoods; and Kings Peak, where the cheese takes a different direction through its washed-rind treatment and development.
That makes Boerenkaas more than a single cheese in our lineup — it is part of the foundation of our cheesemaking story. Its balanced flavour and versatile character allow the same core craftsmanship to evolve into cheeses that are young and creamy, deeply aged, naturally smoked, or washed and matured.
