Van Herk Kaas is a family business with a rich history dating back to 1897. Founder Govert van Herk started trading cheese from the heart of Rotterdam, on Delftsestraat. Back then, cheeses were delivered by bicycle and dog cart to local milkmen, grocers, and water sellers in the area.
During World War II, the building on Delftsestraat was unfortunately lost. But that didn’t mean the end of Van Herk Kaas — quite the opposite. The company resumed operations on Zaagmolenstraat in Rotterdam, entering a new period of growth and opportunity.
In the years that followed, Van Herk Kaas began supplying more and more to market traders across Rotterdam. This growth continued steadily, and in 1985 the company moved to the Rotterdam Wholesale Market. From that point, our customer base expanded further, including the hospitality sector.
In 2022, driven by increasing demand, we moved once again — this time to a larger facility on Vlaardingweg. Today, Van Herk Kaas is a leading dairy wholesaler, where knowledge, quality, and service come first. Despite all the changes over the years, we’ve always remained true to our Rotterdam roots: working hard and doing honest business.
In 2024, Van Herk Kaas welcomed new and young blood through a partnership with a family business from Bodegraven, deeply rooted in the international dairy world. This marked a new chapter for our company. We expanded our operations to include import and export across and beyond Europe. In addition to classic dairy products, we now also offer new items based on our own recipes — broadening and improving our range.
