The van den Wijngaard family’s signature cheese they make is called Reypenaer, a special variety of Gouda made in a historic cheese warehouse from 1906 in Woerden, The Netherlands. What is it about Reypenaer that gives it a distinctive intense aroma, rich flavor, and beautiful smoothness? The answer lies in authentic craftmanship in the old family warehouse where nature does its work. A delicacy cheese which has won multiple prizes and is used in top restaurants.

Wijngaard cheeses are ripened using the traditional method of ripening on wooden boards. During the ripening process the cheese develops a rich and balanced flavor. The cheese is cut and refined with fine herbs. These flavorings gradually release their aromas into the cheese giving surprising results: you can taste both the delicate combination of the cheese with the seasonings as well as the unique flavor of the cheese itself.
