Rasmus Tholstrup

Rasmus Peder Rasmussen Tholstrup (15 November 1861 – 20 December 1929) was a Danish dairy manufacturer and founder of Tholstrup Cheese a/s, one of the leading suppliers of quality cheese in Denmark. He was a very enterprising and inventive dairy farmer whose motto was "Quality now lasts longer". He thus decided to dedicate his life to cheese-making and traveled around the world to gain experience and knowledge.

Tholstrup married Sørine Larsen (1871–1946), with whom he had eight children, Henrik (1893), Lili (1894), Laurits (1896), Poul (1898), Hans (1901), Erik (1902), Knud (1904), and Jacob (1906). Tholstrup and his wife Sørine were also active in the Christian Science movement, were members of the Retsforbundet and known as political debaters. Later he became one of the first to throw himself over to the sliced cheese and developed Dansk Schweitzer and, among other things, Table cheese.
