The making of Boerenkaas in 1943

Boerenkaas (lit. 'farmers cheese') is a Dutch cheese, most of which is handmade from raw milk.^[1] The milk may be from cows, goats, sheep or buffalo; at least half of it must be from the farm where the cheese is made.^[2]^[3] The cheese may also contain cumin or other seeds, herbs, and spices.^[2]^[3]

The name has been protected as a Traditional Speciality Guaranteed by the European Union since 2007.^[4]
