Boerenkaas (Dutch: [ˌbuːrə(ŋ)ˈkaːs] ⓘ; lit. 'farmers cheese') is a Dutch cheese, most of which is handmade from raw milk.[1] The milk may be from cows, goats, sheep or buffalo; at least half of it must be from the farm where the cheese is made.[2][3] The cheese may also contain cumin or other seeds, herbs, and spices.[2][3]
The name has been protected as a Traditional Speciality Guaranteed by the European Union since 2007.[4]
