A key feature of my markets is that Dutch cheese is highly valued as quality cheese. That’s even better than having a PGI mark. Despite all the transport, documentation and payment challenges, in this market trust and the network really form the most important pillars. Our purchasers value our relationship, in which we offer them the space to grow.

I’ve been working at Vandersterre since January 2006. Germany has traditionally been the most important export market for Vandersterre and we aim to serve everyone in Germany who sells or processes cheese. Germany is certainly not an easy market; the country is known for paying the lowest prices for foods in Europe and to achieve the best deal for Vandersterre we have to go that extra mile, every time.

The Latin American cheese market has a long history of traditional cheese. We face huge challenges in marketing our specialty cheeses, Prima Donna and Landana, in this region. However, that makes it all the more satisfying when customers clearly see the differences between the Dutch ranges and value the quality of our cheeses.

Belgians enjoy the ‘good life’ and are true gourmets when it comes to food and drink. When you look at the total cheese range sold in Belgium, it’s clear that French and other foreign cheeses are more prominent than in the Netherlands. Our cheeses are also widely represented in Belgian shops and specialty stores, especially Landana Kruidenkazen and Slanke Anke. We’re currently focusing on conquering the Belgian market with Landana Jersey.

Although the Belgian market is quite close to home distance-wise it still has a completely different culture. This is really apparent in such things their laid back and amiable way of doing business. For me, it’s really interesting to learn in practice how to do business in a different culture.

The cheese world is extremely diverse: flavors determine the market and luckily we’ve got so many great flavors to offer. Southern, Eastern or Northern Europe, North America and the offshore industry; all markets seeking different ranges and having different demands. Responding to local culture, the demands of today and tomorrow, customer contact and dynamics are what make this work and these regions a real challenge, every day.
