Overview
Written by Ank van Lier and published on 31 August 2026, the article explains our approach.
Additionally, in Ittervoort, Limburg, it describes producing Italian cheese specialties with buffalo mozzarella Netherlands and Italian cheesemaking expertise.
Production and product focus overview
Through conversations with Marcello and Ilaria Fichele, the feature offers a closer look at our production. In addition, it highlights our focus on buffalo mozzarella Netherlands, as well as burrata and ricotta.
Finally, it also outlines our ambition to bring these products to more customers across the Netherlands and Northwest Europe.
At the heart of this story is Marcello Fichele’s four decades of buffalo-milk processing. His expertise guides the transformation of milk into cheese. Careful timing, temperature control and skilled handling reflect Fresh Premium Italian cheese made in the Netherlands and ensure mozzarella’s texture.
Our production in Ittervoort brings this Italian knowledge into a Dutch setting, where local facilities apply the same craft to buffalo milk and deliver mozzarella with the same texture and quality that Italian-made cheese is known for.
Focus on regional production and markets
The feature examines our shift from supplying curd for processing in Italy to making finished cheeses in Limburg.
Additionally, this move brings us closer to Fresh Premium Italian cheese made in the Netherlands demand.
Producing closer to our target markets creates opportunities for quicker deliveries. It helps customers receive fresh products with more of their shelf life available for sale and use.
Looking ahead, we will focus on building relationships with restaurants, specialist cheese shops, delicatessens, and quality-focused retailers. This approach will support our broader aims to grow awareness of Italian cheeses. We expect these efforts to reinforce demand for products.
By introducing buyers and chefs to the flavor, texture, and versatility of buffalo mozzarella, burrata, and ricotta. Moreover, we aim to grow demand for Italian cheese specialties made with Dutch buffalo milk. This focus highlights quality and origin across the supply chain.
Thank you to Ank van Lier and VMT for sharing our story.
