Fromagerie
Kef
Cheese
In 1953, Abraham Kef opened his store on Marnixstraat in Amsterdam. Abraham Kef was a pioneer. A flamboyant cheesemonger and a storyteller with a great passion for raw milk cheeses from small producers. Following in his footsteps, Marike van der Werff now manages the store on Marnixstraat. Today at Fromagerie Kef we still work a lot with raw-milk, French cheeses, but now also with various local makers. In the end, it is products with a special story and a unique taste that make us most happy. And precisely those stories and flavors can be heard and tasted during this edition of the Low Food Festival.

Stop by and support their mission for more natural flavor and less food waste.

At Wakuli, coffee farmers are paid well, the planet gets more love and you drink the very best coffees. That's what we call really good coffee.

Daffee
Koffie
Coffee made from dates? Yes! Meet Rahaf and her inspiring story at our festival! After undergoing surgery in 2013, she faced dietary restrictions and desperately needed essential nutrients, such as dates. Normally, the seeds of dates are discarded, both by consumers and in manufacturing processes. But Rahaf, who has nothing to do with waste, soon discovered that these kernels are full of benefits.

Now, years later, Rahaf and Tamim have made her dream come true and launched Daffee in the Netherlands.
