Cheese farm De Huppe
Thursday 6th
of March we visited a cheese farm named ‘De Huppe’ in Zwolle, Overijssel, in
the Netherlands.
‘De Huppe’
is not only a cheese farm because is also a farm for children and adults with
physical and mental handicap.
One of the
important people in the cheese farm is ‘Ronny’. Ronny gave us a guided tour
through the cheese farm.
They produce
100-150 kg of raw milk cheese every day and the demand of raw milk cheese is
rising. They export their cheese to different kinds of restaurants, for
example: Librije & Librije zusje. Those
restaurants have in total 5 Michelin stars.
That means they are one of the best restaurants in the Netherlands. The cheese
farm exports also to different kinds of retailers for example: ‘De Smaakspecialist’.
Cheese farm ‘De Huppe’ works also together with an ice cream farm in Hattem.
Next to the
kitchen where they make the cheese they have little shops where customers can
buy raw milk cheese on their own. There are approximately 100-120 visitors every
week.
The demand
of raw milk cheese is rising so well that they are forced to expand the cheese
farm to succeed the demand. They are not
exporting to foreign countries.
