Holland's Family Cheese-Thorp, WI

A dairy farm, Penterman Farm, Gouda cheesemaking facility and Marieke Gouda Store are all on the same premises.  The Marieke® Gouda Mature, aged 6-9 months, was named the 2013 Grand Champion of the U.S. Championship Cheese Contest

We are so proud that we were named the 2013 Grand Champion of the U.S. Championship Cheese ContestFrom the day Marieke Penterman started making cheese in 2006, Holland's Family Cheese won awards for all its Marieke® Gouda varieties; more than 80 national and international awards.

We didn't get to view the making of the gouda cheese but we did get to observe the milking parlor.  It was a very interesting process.
