Results Cheese & You Challenge at Skills event at RAI Amsterdam

22 Mar 2025

What 2 cool days it was on 20 and 21 March in the RAI Amsterdam. More than 25,000 visitors, many of whom were (prospective) vmbo and mbo students looking for vocational training, internships or (part-time) jobs. We were present with our stand on the retail square with our Cheese Board Challenge. Retail Rocks, Cheese & You Rocks!

More than 100 cheese boards were designed and served out on the Retail Square and surrounding areas. Not only the most beautiful cheeseboard was judged but also the serving and corresponding presentation and storytelling skills. Secret guests from KCH (one of the organising organisations of the Retail Square) were engaged for this purpose. Of course, we cannot show all the cheese boards but every single one was a feast for the eyes and mouth! The top three are pictured. The winners will receive an email with a discount code with which they can put together their own gift package in our webshop! Thanks to everyone for entering and maybe see you in our shops or office as an intern or employee!

Winners:
Infinitely Delicious / Maxime and Danique
More more more / Lennart and Peter
The Sna(c)ke / Floris

The award for best presentation / storytelling goes to Ouail Nassim.


CSR Report 2024–2025

02 Sep 2026

To leave the world in a better state than we found it. That sounds lovely. But ultimately, sustainability isn’t about fine words. It’s about what you’re doing differently today compared to yesterday.

Over the past two years, we’ve made a lot of progress. In our cheese dairies, on the farms we work with, and amongst the people in our cheese family who work on our cheeses every day. We’ve managed to achieve most of the goals we set ourselves, and we’re incredibly proud of that. Does that mean we’ve already made it? Certainly not. For us, sustainability isn’t about targets, but about a continuous process of trying, measuring, learning and constantly improving. And sometimes that also means having the courage to make bold choices and follow your own path.
