From Europe to New Zealand — Crafted with Heritage. Perfected with Precision.
At Global Cheese Boutique, we bring Europe’s finest Dutch cheeses directly to New Zealand — imported as whole wheels, freshly cut in NZ, and delivered nationwide with unmatched consistency and flavour.
Who We Are
Global Cheese Boutique is an importer and distributor of premium Dutch and European cheeses — sourced directly from family-run creameries across the Netherlands and crafted using generations of cheesemaking expertise.
By importing whole wheels and precision-cutting every batch in New Zealand, we deliver a level of freshness, quality, and flavour that pre-cut imports simply cannot match. From classic favourites like Maasdam and Cumin Gouda to rare specialty styles like Black Lemon, Tricolore, Coffee Gouda, Beer, Whisky, and Goat, our range brings something truly unique to Kiwi retailers, cafés, caterers, and cheese lovers.
We understand the demands of New Zealand’s foodservice market — evolving menus, tight margins, reliable supply, and trusted local support. That's why our operations are built around consistency, transparency, and direct access to the very best producers in Europe.
Whether you're curating a premium cheese fridge, building corporate hampers, or stocking your deli, GCB delivers the flavour, formats, and flexibility your business needs — nationwide.
Our Story
Global Cheese Boutique began with a simple vision: to make authentic, high-quality European cheese accessible to New Zealand.
After years of working alongside Dutch cheesemakers, our founders saw a need for fresher, more flavour-forward speciality cheeses in NZ — cheeses that weren’t mass-produced, pre-cut, or stripped of their character during long transit times.
So we built a direct import pathway from the Netherlands to New Zealand, partnering with traditional family dairies known for their craftsmanship, heritage, and innovation. Today, we bring their artistry to Kiwi shelves — with each wheel matured naturally, shipped with care, and cut fresh on arrival for maximum flavour.
What started as a passion project has grown into a trusted national supplier serving cafés, delis, gourmet grocers, caterers, and households across Aotearoa.
