Our Origins and Offerings
House of Cheese began its journey in Kampala in July 2012, with a vision to bring the finest Dutch cheeses to the heart of Uganda. The foundation of our offerings is deeply rooted in the rich agricultural heritage of the region, utilizing the high-quality milk from Friesian and Ankole cows. These breeds are renowned for their superior milk, which forms the cornerstone of our diverse range of cheese products.
Our product line is a testament to our dedication to quality and variety. We offer traditional Gouda, a cheese that epitomizes the rich dairy tradition of the Netherlands, alongside specialty types that cater to more refined palates. Our selection also includes soft cream cheeses, known for their smooth texture and delightful taste, and mozzarella, a staple in many culinary creations. Each of these cheeses is made with meticulous care, ensuring that they not only meet but exceed the expectations of our discerning customers.
At House of Cheese, we pride ourselves on our commitment to freshness and authenticity. All our cheeses are crafted using fresh milk sourced directly from local farmers, ensuring that the purity and quality of the raw ingredients are maintained. Our cheese makers, who bring years of experience and passion to their craft, employ traditional methods to naturally ripen our cheeses. This process guarantees that every bite of our cheese delivers the pure goodness and authentic taste of ‘nature’s milk at its best.’
The dedication to using locally sourced milk and traditional ripening techniques reflects our core philosophy: to offer products that are not only delicious but also embody the essence of natural, wholesome goodness. This unwavering commitment has made House of Cheese a beloved name among cheese enthusiasts in Kampala and beyond, standing as a symbol of quality and authenticity in every slice.
Commitment to Quality and Expertise
The exceptional taste of House of Cheese products stems from three key factors: the origin of our ingredients, our craftsmanship, and the natural organic goodness of our products. We use only premium ingredients to ensure the superior and consistent taste of our cheeses. Our team of cheese makers has been trained by our cheese master, Klaas Zomerdijk from Holland, who brings over 45 years of experience in producing and building cheese factories worldwide. Under his guidance, our team has won numerous cheese tasting awards, further validating our commitment to quality and excellence.
At House of Cheese, we believe that the foundation of any great cheese lies in the quality of its ingredients. We source our milk exclusively from local, organic farms where cows graze freely on lush pastures. This ensures that our cheeses not only taste exceptional but also adhere to our commitment to sustainability and ethical farming practices. Each batch of cheese is crafted with the utmost care, reflecting our dedication to preserving the natural flavors and integrity of the ingredients.
Our craftsmanship is what truly sets House of Cheese apart. Under the tutelage of Klaas Zomerdijk, our team of skilled artisans has honed their craft to perfection. Klaas’s extensive knowledge and innovative techniques, garnered from decades of experience, have been passed down to our cheese makers. This mentorship has been instrumental in our ability to produce cheeses that consistently earn accolades and delight discerning palates worldwide.
Furthermore, our commitment to natural organic goodness ensures that every product we offer is free from artificial additives and preservatives. We believe that cheese should be a pure and wholesome food, and this philosophy is reflected in every wheel and wedge that leaves our facility. The result is a range of cheeses that not only meet but exceed the expectations of our customers, both in taste and quality.
