John Stolwijk is the owner of Stolwijk Kaas, a family business established in 1974. He continues the legacy started by his father, operating cheese stalls at markets in five different cities. His family has been involved in cheesemaking for generations, and he took over the business after working alongside his father since childhood.
John has been dedicated to the family trade since he was 11 years old. His commitment was so strong that he chose the business over his passion for water polo. He is married to Mariska, and they have two sons.
Despite studying retail, John believes the true art of trade is learned by doing, not from books.
