Gold for Royaal Grand Cru at the World Cheese Awards 2025

We are proud to announce that our PDO Beemster® Royaal Grand Cru has been awarded gold at the World Cheese Awards 2025! This recognition confirms what we already knew: our PDO Beemster® Royaal Grand Cru is a truly exceptional cheese with outstanding flavor and character.

We are also delighted to share that three of our cheeses — PDO Beemster® Royaal, PDO Beemster® Classic and PDO Beemster® X-O- — have each been awarded bronze at this year’s competition. A wonderful achievement for a trio of cheeses that represent the richness, diversity and craftsmanship of our Beemster range.

Each year, more than 4,000 cheeses from around the world are blind-tasted and carefully judged by an international panel of experts. Receiving a Gold award among such strong competition is a remarkable honor.

Crafted with passion, traditional skills, and the finest milk from our CONO farmers, our PDO Beemster® Royaal Grand Cru continues to impress cheese lovers and professionals alike. This award is a tribute to the dedication of our farmers and cheesemakers who pour their craftsmanship into every wheel.

Gouda can come from anywhere – but only Beemster® cheese can come from the Beemster.
