We acknowledge that environmental protection, practised social responsibility and economic success belong together, are interdependent and mutually influential. Therefore, all our actions are based upon this complex system – on our way to a culture of sustainability.

We are an modern company that keeps close watch on the latest developments. Our management and about 50 employees form a young and dynamic team together. Our knowledge of quality, buying and sales, logistics, technology, marketing and design means that we can adapt quickly and the decision making lines remain short. Furthermore, we work closely with a number of specialists and can thus quickly respond to clients’ preferences. The search for new production methods, products and ingredients remains a continuous challenge. It has resulted in our range being extended over the years to include cheeses such as fresh goats’ cheese rolls, spreadable fresh goats’ cheese in various flavours and weights, Camembert, ripened goats’ cheese rolls (Bûche) and Brie. Our sales department supplies diverse markets in the Netherlands and internationally with bulk products for both the food processing industry as well as wholesalers who supply specialist cheese shops and the retail trade. Mission: Over the years our focus has shifted to new products for the retail trade, the food service industry, catering and industrial wholesalers and the company has become further professionalised. After years of dramatic growth in the production volume of goats´ cheese both in bulk and in our ´standard´ range, we are now devoting increasingly more attention to developing products which use other raw materials than purely goats´ milk. We now produce items that are related to dairy products, but which are not necessary made from milk. Our goal is to extend the range with new items for consumers, the catering industry and the wholesale trade. A new type of goats´ cheese, crumbled fresh goat's cheese, is already available on the market as well as our new packaging of slices goat's cheese.

» Honey is our passion and our skill. As a family business we focus entirely on honey and continuously maintain the values that made us so successful: the highest standards for the quality of our honey and the utmost flexibility in a dynamic market.«

In more than 75 years we have improved our knowledge about honey as a natural product. Just like our founder Johann Breitsamer knew every beekeeper personally in the beginning, it is still important to us to visit and check on our contractual beekeepers on a regular basis. Straight forwardness is the keyword, when it comes to how we see our business: We do not want to offer you as many exotic honey sorts as possible, but few and good ones!

For three generations, everything in the Breitsamer family has been about honey. Our enthusiasm for this wonderful natural product and the careful craftsmanship of our beekeepers guarantees a pleasure that you just have to love. Our honeys are of course natural and are continuously monitored for purity and quality – stricter than required by the German Honey Regulation.
