Gouda, Edam, and Maasdam cheese

While most European semi-hard cheese varieties are made into 15 kg blocks of 300 mm x 500 mm x 100 mm – the so-called Euro block – some producers make distinctive shapes and sizes to differentiate their products, such as the Dutch Gouda wheel or Swedish Västerbotten cheese. Our equipment allows for shape and size flexibility, and can therefore handle all kinds of formats, traditional and otherwise. Furthermore, it produces the required shapes with unrivalled accuracy, significantly reducing product losses and cutting costs.
