Products Available:

Maasdammer Cheese - Mild, Medium, Aged and Spiced

Availability: Year Round

A Swiss-style cheese with semi-firm texture and large eye formation. The Maasdammer has a slightly sweet and nutty flavour. The cheese is made with our own unpastuerized cows' milk. The cows graze on grass and are fed our own special blend of feed that is blended and ground on our farm. Maasdammer is made in 8 kg wheels. No preservatives or artificial flavours are used in the producing of this cheese. Maasdammer is an excellent cheese to use in sandwiches, fondues, cheese sauces and soups. It is available in mild, medium and aged flavours. The Maasdammer is produced in small batches to ensure quality.

Bulgarian Yogurt and Quark

Availability: Year Round

This increasingly popular yogurt can be eaten plain, with granola, or blended with liquid honey and some fresh Okanagan berries to serve as a tasty fruit smoothie! Made the old-fashioned way, the yogurt is hung in cloth bags to thicken, and no preservatives or thickening agents are added. The milk fat content of the regular yogurt is 7%. Quark has ˝ the fat of regular cream cheese, and can be used in cheesecakes, as a spread with spices or jams, or blended with fresh fruit. Quark has a milk fat content of 12%, and has been around - according to scripts from ancient Greece, China, Rome and Middle Eastern countries - for centuries as a nutritional food item. It is also available in low fat.

Cow Feta Cheese

Availability: Year Round

Available in plain, oregano/tomato/garlic, and tomato/basil. Feta is a classic curd cheese whose tradition dates back thousands of years. Feta is a staple, crumbled in Greek salad; but don’t stop there. It is a great addition to any salad or pasta dish, or try it on pizza! Traditionally, feta was made from goat or sheeps' milk. Our feta is made from cows' milk, giving it a slightly milder flavour. Our feta comes in approximately 200 g pieces and is vacuum packed. If you prefer some more flavour, try the spiced feta available in basil & tomato or tomato, garlic & oregano flavours.

Gouda Cheese - Mild, Medium and Aged

Availability: Year Round

If you are looking for some good old-fashioned plain gouda, there are three choices. All of them are creamy, well textured, and range from a mild gouda flavor to the distinct, hearty taste of our award-winning Aged. The Mild Gouda is about two months old and is perfect if you are looking for a lighter-tasting cheese. Our Medium is four to six months old, giving it a little bit stronger taste than the Mild. Both the Mild and Medium are also available in the traditional Dutch Style which means a coating is applied by hand to give the Gouda a harder rind, in turn giving the cheese a slightly nuttier flavor. Alas, the Aged Gouda. Receiving first place at the Canadian Cheese Grand Prix in 2004, we can barely keep this one on the shelf! Aged for at least one year or more, this cheese has an extremely creamy texture and rich flavor. It melts in your mouth!

Gouda Cheese - Light, Spiced and Smoked

Availability: Year Round

If you think a cheese with a lower fat content would be dry and without flavour, think again! Our light-style Gouda is moist and surprisingly flavourful. With a milk fat content of 17% (while our other cheeses are 33%), our Light Gouda sells remarkably well. A light/low salt Gouda is also available in our store. With our Spiced Gouda, there are 13 flavours to choose from; including red pepper, peppercorn, parsley, Italian, Greek, jalapeno habenero, habenero, and cumin. If you like that "smoky" taste, here's your cheese: our smoked-flavoured Gouda remains a popular choice with its creamy texture. Look for it in its black, waxed coating.
