Herb Cheese Villa Segreto

Villa Segreto is a farm cheese with a blend of 7 mysterious herbs. This Dutch aged cheese gets its unique flavor from the addition of pepper, ginger, cumin, nutmeg, clove, cinnamon, and cardamom. It feels like a true explosion of flavors on your tongue, as you are continuously surprised by the spices. Hence the name Villa Segreto, which means "secret" in Italian.

The cheese is made in the Green Heart of the Netherlands on a farm where the farm’s own herd provides the milk for this cheese. According to the secret recipe of the cheesemaker, a special farm cheese is created that, thanks to the various herbs, makes the taste buds tingle. The Villa Segreto is then aged for 4 months in our warehouse under constant temperature and humidity, allowing the flavor to develop optimally.

The cheese comes from the Verweij family farm in Polsbroek. The three brothers took over the farm from their parents in 2009, but they still step in whenever needed. It’s truly a family business where knowledge has been passed down through the years.

On the farm, there are on average 400 cows that are milked every day. The cows spend as much time as possible outside in the meadow, and every day, cheese is made from the milk. In addition to this Villa Segreto, the Verweij family also makes Truffle Herb Cheese, Villa Truffo, and Villa Chili Fumé.
