The Trappist Abbey of Westmalle has had a farm within its walls since its foundation in 1794. Since 1932, the monks have focused on livestock farming, culminating in the current fully renovated stable with room for 400 animals. The milk for Trappist cheese comes entirely from their own cows, which are allowed to graze around the abbey.
The cheese dairy began in 1860, initially for their own use and then for sale at the abbey gate and in the adjacent café. Today, the cheese is also sold in specialty shops.
