About Buiteman
Buiteman is a family-run Dutch savoury biscuit company with over 65 years of expertise in crafting premium cheese biscuits. Founded in 1958 by J.Q. Buiteman, who opened his first bakery in Arkel, Netherlands, the company has grown to become a renowned producer of gourmet savoury snacks while maintaining its artisan heritage. The founder moved to H.I. Ambacht in 1965 before establishing a bakery dedicated exclusively to savoury biscuits in Etten-Leur during the 1970s. Today, the company is managed by the second generation—J.Q. Buiteman's daughter Henriëtte and her husband Simon Klootwijk—while the founder himself continued working in the factory daily until 1995. What distinguishes Buiteman is their commitment to quality and traditional recipes. Their biscuits are prepared in small batches according to family recipes, using only the finest cheeses and carefully selected ingredients. The company has achieved BRC & IFS AA+ certification—the highest grade—reflecting their exceptional food safety and quality standards. Buiteman offers a range of cheese biscuit varieties including Gouda Cheese Crumbles (made with a perfect blend of matured and young Gouda), Swiss Gruyère Bites, Gouda & Chive Biscuits (featuring 22% authentic Gouda aged for 18 months), and Cheddar Cheese Biscuits. Each variety delivers bold cheese flavour with a distinctive crisp, buttery texture. The company also operates a certified organic production line, using the best organic, GMO-free raw materials—a reflection of their philosophy towards honest, quality food. Available at UK supermarkets including Ocado, Buiteman biscuits are perfect for entertaining, wine pairing, cheese boards, or simply enjoying as a sophisticated savoury snack.
