Old Amsterdam cheese

Old Amsterdam is a premium aged Gouda-style cheese brand that originated in the Netherlands. It was created by the Westland family, who sought to produce a cheese that combined the rich flavor of traditional aged cheese with a creamy texture.

The brand is manufactured exclusively in the Netherlands, maintaining strict quality standards associated with Dutch dairy traditions. The product seen here is distributed by Westland Kaasspecialiteiten B.V., a family-owned enterprise that continues to manage the brand's production and global export.

As of 2026, Old Amsterdam remains under the ownership of Westland Kaas, a major player in the international cheese market known for its focus on proprietary cultures and long ripening processes. The brand's identity is deeply tied to the city of Amsterdam, though its production occurs in dairy facilities across the Dutch countryside.
