About Kaas

Kaas, the Dutch word for cheese, is a dairy product known for its rich flavors and versatility in cooking. Originating from the Netherlands, kaas includes varieties like Gouda, Edam, and Leerdammer, each made from cow's milk and aged to develop distinct textures and tastes. Kaas is an excellent source of protein and calcium, supporting bone health and muscle repair. It also contains essential vitamins like B12 and A, offering benefits for energy production and vision. However, kaas is often high in saturated fats and sodium, which should be consumed in moderation, especially for heart health. Its inclusion in traditional Dutch cuisine ranges from sandwiches and snacks to festive cheese platters. Opting for aged or lower-fat types can balance indulgence with health considerations.
