Westland Kaas

Westland Kaas develops and markets a portfolio of well-known cheese brands, including Old Amsterdam, Maaslander, and Trenta. The company specializes in crafting distinct cheese varieties, focusing on taste and quality to deliver unique culinary experiences to consumers. Its capabilities extend to product development and market positioning for its diverse range of cheese products.

The company was founded in 1936 by the Westland family. This strategic shift occurred following the completion of the Afsluitdijk in 1932, which significantly impacted the family’s prior involvement in the fish trade. Recognizing new opportunities, the family pivoted their expertise and resources to establish a dedicated cheese production and branding enterprise.

Westland Kaas serves a broad consumer market, with its branded cheeses sold internationally. The company’s long-term vision centers on upholding its heritage of quality and taste, continually innovating within the cheese market, and expanding its offerings to meet evolving consumer preferences. It aims to remain a leading producer of distinctive cheese experiences.
