At the end of 2017, Uniekaas Holland and DOC Dairy Partners have joined forces.
Since then we‘ve worked hard to further professionalise our products and services in the field of Private Label as well as for our Uniekaas brand. As you might have noticed, we’ve already integrated a number of commercial activities. The next step in this process is that the company name DOC Dairy Partners will become Uniekaas Holland BV, in 2021.
At the beginning of 2021, we will inform you of the additional adaptations this change will bring.
Gouda is the most well-known cheese of all Dutch cheeses. It was named after the Dutch town of Gouda, where it has been sold at the market for centuries. In the 19th century, the production of this type of cheese started to spread across the rest of the Netherlands, resulting in the fact that Gouda cheese became the most commonly made cheese. Traditional Gouda, full of flavour and aroma, is available in different stages of maturity, including mild, mature and even extra mature. Gouda contains a minimum of 48% fat in dry matter.
To protect the original Gouda cheese, the European Union has granted a PGI-recognition to the genuine Dutch Gouda cheese with the term Gouda Holland.PGI stands for ‘Protected Geographical Indication’. Only products that owe their reputation to their geographical origin and are produced there can be considered for such protection. All the naturallyripened Gouda cheeses from DOC have this PGI-recognition. This can be recognized by the special Gouda Holland quality seal.
DOC supplies naturally ripened Gouda cheese in wheels of 4.5 kg or 12 kg, in pieces, slices or as grated cheese. It is possible to have your own label applied on our cheese.
Besides the traditional Gouda, DOC also produces a low fat Gouda (30% fat). This Gouda type is available as a foil ripened and rindless 15kg block and perfectly suitable for further processing.
Gouda Premium has a different riping process which results in a mature, intensive taste. Due to the intensive taste, less of the cheese is needed to obtain the same taste level when using other types of cheese.

Gouda Premium great taste and melting capacities makes that it is therefore excellent for industrial usage as making pizza’s or any other meal preparations.
