The Story of Beemster Classic ®
Beemster Classic is composed of the purest grade-A milk from cows that graze freely on the lush, pesticide-free grasses of the famous Beemster Polder. Created in North Holland in the year 1612, the Beemster Polder was literally reclaimed from the sea through the use of masterful engineering and land management, and in 1999 was registered by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in recognition of its innovation and creativity. The rich blue sea clay of this land produces particular grasses that give Beemster milk its sweet and soft consistency. The rare composition of the milk allows the cheese to remain creamy throughout its 18-month maturation. “In 1999 UNESCO registered the Beemster Polder as a World Heritage Site, recognizing the polder’s innovation and creativity.”
Beemster® Classic Values Produced by Master cheesmakers with love and care. Containing the very finest ingredients. Characteristically caramel colored. Matured for a minimum of 18 months. Culminating in a rich and complex flavor.
