If your idea of adventure starts with a cheese board instead of a boarding pass, FrieslandCampina has something worth celebrating. At this year’s Summer Fancy Food Show, the company served up a delicious lineup of specialty cheeses that blend old-world craftsmanship with modern flavors, proving that great cheese never goes out of style.
Stealing the spotlight is the newly rebranded Rembrandt Cheese, formerly known as A Dutch Masterpiece. While the name may be new, fans can relax because everything they already love about the cheese remains the same. The recipes, careful aging process, and rich flavors haven’t changed one bit. The new identity gives the brand a more memorable personality inspired by one of the Netherlands’ most famous artists, Rembrandt. Much like one of his paintings, every wheel of cheese tells a story of patience, skill, and attention to detail.
The refreshed collection features crowd favorites like the smooth and creamy 6-Month Aged Gouda, perfect for everything from grilled cheese sandwiches to an impressive charcuterie board. Those craving bolder flavors will appreciate the 12-Month PDO Gouda, crafted in North Holland using traditional methods. Its rich caramel notes, crunchy cheese crystals, and nutty finish make every bite feel like a special occasion.
For adventurous cheese lovers, there’s even more to explore. Rembrandt Robusto packs a firm texture with deep, aged flavor that pairs beautifully with hearty crackers and cured meats. Meanwhile, Goat Gouda offers a creamy, tangy twist that adds a little unexpected element to the Gouda family.
The quality isn’t just talk. At the 2026 World Championship Cheese Contest, Rembrandt Cheese earned serious bragging rights. The 6-Month Gouda took home a Gold Medal, while Robusto earned Bronze, giving cheese fans even more reasons to fill their shopping carts.
The makeover extends beyond the cheese itself. The new Rembrandt Cheese packaging features rich colors, dramatic lighting, and rustic styling inspired by classic Dutch art. Whether sitting on a grocery shelf or starring on a party platter, the cheeses look every bit as elegant as they taste.
FrieslandCampina isn’t stopping in the Netherlands, though. The company is also celebrating the continued growth of Gayo Azul, a brand that combines Dutch cheesemaking expertise with the vibrant flavors found throughout Hispanic cooking.
Its growing lineup includes Red Wax Gouda, Edam, Mature Edam, Swiss, Queso Blanco, Queso Para Freír, Cotija, and Queso Fresco. Available in everything from wedges and wheels to sliced deli options, these cheeses make it easy to bring authentic flavors into everyday meals.
Each variety shines in its own way. Gouda melts beautifully into burgers and casseroles. Edam delivers a mild, creamy bite that’s perfect for snacking. Queso Blanco and Queso Para Freír are kitchen superheroes because they keep their shape when grilled or fried, creating crispy golden edges without melting into a puddle. Cotija sprinkles salty, bold flavor over tacos, grilled corn, and salads, while Swiss brings its signature nutty sweetness to sandwiches and hot melts.
Completing the trio is Royal Hollandia, a premium Dutch cheese brand known for authentic imported cheeses crafted with generations of cheesemaking tradition. Whether you’re building an elegant charcuterie board, preparing a family dinner, or simply treating yourself to an afternoon snack, Royal Hollandia delivers the rich flavors that make Dutch cheese famous around the world.
Together, FrieslandCampina’s collection reflects what today’s shoppers are craving: authentic stories, traditional craftsmanship, and unforgettable flavor. From award-winning aged Goudas to everyday grilling cheeses with international flair, these brands invite home cooks to explore the world one delicious bite at a time. After all, every great meal deserves a little cheese, and these selections prove that sometimes the tastiest journeys begin with a single slice.
