What to expect
During this two to three hour workshop you'll learn how to craft your own Dutch farmers' cheese. You will be welcomed in the workshop room where you will hear more about the history and current production of farmers' cheese (Boerenkaas). Then you will make cheese together with one of our cheesemakers.
When the cheeses are under the press, you will be given a tour of the cheese farm and clog factory. During this tour, you can taste all types of cheese, try a glass of fruit wine and taste typical Dutch biscuits.
After the tour, the cheeses can be removed from the press. These very young cheeses will then receive a small treatment before you can take them home.
