The work of the master. The cheese master has to ensure that the cheese develops properly as it matures. In the time of the Donck's family's Old Cheese factory, the masters could only trust their senses, experience and knowledge of the cheese production process.
The master tasted a piece of cheese, checked its colour and felt how the cheese is maturing. In a modern cheese factory, the procedure is different, the master is supported by a well equipped laboratory
Cow's and goat cheese are very different in taste.With a little practice, you can distinguish them by the smell

The world in pieces of cheese ! Even on this item (besides the political ones) there will be always a culinary difference beween France and the rest of the cheese producing countries. (Statistics average in tons/year)
The founders : Romain Donck and his wife Germaine Spruytte.

Cleo bathing

The "Oude Kaasmakerij" or how milk in life is important has been written history for almost as long as anyone can remember.
Cleopatra, the divine queen ruler of Egypt is a witness.
According to scores of tradition, Cleo the charming queen of Egypt owed her beauty to the fact that she bathed in asses milk every day.This milk contains no casein. It is certainly possible to bathe in asses' milk, in contrast to cow milk.
Asses' milk doesn't turn into a mass of thick dirt on account of different temperature and constant movement
