OUR HISTORY

1929

De Graaff Cheese

Our history goes back to 1929, when Cornelis de Graaff went into business in the town of Enkhuizen in North Holland. By specializing in the packaging of cheese, from generation to generation we have built up the knowledge and expertise that we use in our modern packaging plant every day.

1946

Van der Sterre

Vandersterre has been refining and selling Dutch cheese since 1946. That was the year when Piet van der Sterre started his enterprise in the cheese village of Bodegraven. Ever since, this high-quality naturally matured cheese has been popular both inside and outside the Netherlands.

2017

New Meerkerk location

The maturing of cheese on wooden shelves is a skill that we mastered since the very start. Whereas the cheese used to be matured in a farmhouse cheese attic, we now mature it in the traditional way in our new premises.c

Vandersterre plays an important role in every link in the chain, from the cow to the supermarket shelf. And as we become more professional and more international, our committed corporate culture and our personal approach will continue to be the solid basis on which we do business. Because you don’t just sell cheese with your brain; you also sell it with your heart.
