Ostsee-Kaas
Best farm cheese
From cows reared in a species-appropriate way
Made from the milk of the dairy cows of Milchhof Am Recknitztal e.G., Ostseekaas is a project which Pieter Maas himself was instrumental in driving forward. The aim was not only to bring a high-quality product onto the market, but above all to strengthen the appreciation for cheese as a product and for dairy cows.
For this reason, the best cheesemakers, found in – where else – the Netherlands, were chosen to process the milk. The milk is processed into a special gouda farm cheese by the Swiss cheesemaker Robert Scheuer in a small Dutch village. What’s noteworthy about the production process for this cheese is that the milk is only gently thermised and not pasteurised, meaning that important nutrients are retained. The cheese is then stored on wooden boards where it can mature in peace until it is sold.
