Meet Maasdam — The Golden Gentleman

Kia ora, cheese lover.
You’ve just met the golden gentleman of the Dutch world — Maasdam. The one with the soft smile, the gentle sweetness, and those gorgeous little holes that make every slice look like sunshine on a plate.

I’m not here to shout for attention. I’m the kind of cheese that glows quietly. Warm, nutty, slightly sweet — like honey meeting hazelnut on a summer afternoon. My Dutch makers gave me time to breathe, to mature, to find my mellow confidence. And now, I’ve travelled across oceans to land right here in Aotearoa — ready to add a touch of luxury to your Kiwi life.

You’ll know me by my look — pale gold, a few big eyes (yep, that’s what we call the holes), and a melt that makes your toastie feel Michelin-star level. Pair me with fresh fruit, crackers, or a glass of Chardonnay — and you’ll see what “subtle luxury” really tastes like.

But here’s the fun part — I’m not just for fancy nights.
You’ll find me sneaking into your cheese toasties, your mac-and-cheese bowls, even your weekend brunch omelette. Because luxury doesn’t need an occasion. It just needs good taste.

So go on, get comfy. Let me show you a few ways to bring me to life — a quick snack to impress and a dinner that’ll make your kitchen smell like a dream.
