The King took a trip to the German countryside today, where he helped make a special organic cheese to mark his historic visit, as he continued his state visit.
“We heard that the King is a great lover of cheese,” said Katja von Maltzan, who with her husband runs the Brodowin farm 50 miles northeast of Germany’s capital.
“We took that as an opportunity to make our own creation for him,” the farmer told German news agency dpa.
The Brodowin King is a Tilsiter-style cheese infused with carrot juice to give it “a little sweetness and an orange colour, like British cheddar,” she said.
The Royals’ visit underlined the King’s interest and commitment to environmental causes.
While in Brodowin, His Majesty also sampled a crown shaped cake made to commemorate his visit.
The cake was made from white chocolate with sugar icing gems and raspberries on top.
His Majesty also talked shop with the employees and asked very informed questions about organic farming, Leonie Schierning, the executive assistant of the farm told dpa.

“We talked about cow manure and how good it is for the soil,” she added.
Earlier the King spoke about politics, history and “renewing the pledge of friendship” as he became the first British monarch to address the German parliament.
The overwhelming message of the speech, parts of which were in German, was one of renewing the “special bond of friendship” between the two countries, which he said had meant so much to his mother, the Queen.
