Lekkerkerker family company

Inventive cheesemakers

We have been devising and producing innovative cheese solutions for generations. Our clients are businesses seeking the perfect ingredient for their own product, brands in search of the perfect flavour and professional chefs who rely on our solutions for their creative culinary masterpieces.

Nobody understands the challenges involved in creating the perfect cream cheese, dairy spread and vegan cheese better than we do. As a long-established family business, we have been devising and producing innovative cheese solutions for generations. 

Everything we do is built upon our decades of experience in the dairy industry as well as our 'can-do' mentality. We also like to develop pioneering solutions together with our clients and push ourselves to the limits when challenges arise. Whether you need faster production or want to make new waves within your market, we will always offer a smart solution. We are the number one specialist in cheese products and preparations such as cream cheese, dairy spreads as well as vegetarian and vegan alternatives.

Sustainable

While our feet remain firmly on the ground, our gaze extends far beyond the horizon. Based on our strong future vision, we devote a great deal of time, attention and investment to plant-based alternatives. By using second-hand dairy machines, we give our production lines a second lease of life and extend their useful lifespan. Our entrepreneurial instincts sense great commercial opportunities in this area and the realist in us sees a future in which we and the generations that follow will continue to enjoy the life we are accustomed to.

Our way of working

When a client approaches us to manufacture a product, we set up a multidisciplinary project team.
