Our Beemster® Royaal slices have been awarded 3 stars by the International Taste Institute in Brussels during the prestigious Superior Taste Awards 2025. This is the highest recognition a product can achieve and underlines the unique quality of our cheese.

The jury, consisting of more than 200 international chefs and sommeliers from Le Guide Michelin and Gault & Millau, among others, rated Beemster® Royaal via blind tasting on five sensory criteria: first impression, appearance, smell, taste and texture. The cheese achieved an overall score of 90.3% - an exceptionally high result,

The rich, full flavor, distinctive smoothness and perfect balance in texture were unanimously praised. This verdict is a crown to the work of our cheesemakers as well as recognition of the high quality milk from our dairy farmers.

Also recognition for Beemster® 30+ Jong Belegen
In addition to Beemster® Royaal, our Beemster® 30+ Jong Belegen slices were awarded 1 star by the International Taste Institute.

A great appreciation for this 30+ variety with 40% less fat, which retains its fresh taste and light bite despite the lower fat content. The cheese received particular appreciation for its aroma and flavor, confirming that less fat does not have to come at the expense of flavor experience.

With more than 120 years of experience, love for the trade and attention to people, animals and the environment, we remain true to our craft. These awards show once again that our shared commitment is tasted literally and figuratively.

Proud of what we make together.
