Frequently asked questions

Cheese
How long can I store my cheese?

If you place the cheese in the refrigerator immediately after receiving your order, it can be stored uncut for 6 to 8 weeks. More information on how best to store your Henri Willig cheese can be found here.

Can I freeze my cheese?

While it is technically possible to freeze your cheese, we do not recommend it. Freezing can change the texture and taste of the cheese.

Where do Henri Willig's cheeses come from?

All Henri Willig cheeses are artisanally produced in our own cheese dairies in Katwoude and Heerenveen, the Netherlands. Want to learn more about how we make our cheeses? Then take a look here.

Can I send cheese in summer or during a hot period?

Yes, you can. Our cheeses can stay outside the fridge for a while, as they are protected by a special wax coating. This allows them to travel around the world, even in warmer periods.

When received, the cheese may be soft and 'sweaty'. If you place the cheese in the fridge for at least an hour after receiving it, it will become 'hard' again. This does not affect the taste or quality of the cheese.

The weight of my cheese is less than stated on the product. How is that possible?

The weight listed with the cheese is the original manufacturing weight of the cheese. As the cheese matures, it loses weight and becomes lighter. 

Shipping
Which countries do you ship to?

We ship our cheeses to more than 50 destinations worldwide. View the current overview here.

Please note that deliveries to a PO Box address are unfortunately not possible. 

My country is not listed. Do you also ship to other countries?

I saw an item in one of the cheese shops/cheese farms and I can't find it in the webshop. Can you help me?

We carry a selected range online. However, if you are looking for a specific item or spcific cheese, please let us know at webshop@henriwillig.com. We'll see what we can do for you.

Do I have to pay import duties or customs fees?

For international deliveries, additional costs such as import duties and/or customs charges may apply to the shipment, depending on the legislation in force in the country. These costs are not included and are therefore borne by the recipient. Adjustments by the import authorities are beyond our control.

For shipments to Israel: From an order value of €75.00 or at 5 kilograms, additional costs may be charged by customs to the consignee.

What should I do if ordering fails?

If you experience any problems with placing your order, we recommend you to send our customer service team an e-mail. Please mention in this e-mail what you would like to order and to which address this parcel should be sent so that our team can help you as best as possible. Send your e-mail to webshop@henriwillig.com.
