Cheese! Cheese! Glorious cheese. Amsterdam is known for quite a few wonderful things, and cheese happens to be one of them. Yes, cheese. There are cheese, shops everywhere, and they are all begging for you to step inside of their doors and enjoy a variety of locally made cheese. The Amsterdam cheese company is one of my favorite cheese shops. The staff is super helpful and they will go out of their way without being pushy, to help you with your cheese selection. Let me just put this out there right now... You will want all of the cheese. Every sample we had was delicious. If I could have purchased the entire shop, I absolutely would have. So instead of purchasing the entire shop I definitely purchased enough to keep us all happy for a while. The garlic cheese, the spicy cheese, the aged cheese,... The list goes on and on, and you will literally need to pull yourself out of the shop to go explore the rest of the area. But while you're in the shop, buy the cheese and enjoy the samples. read more

When in Amsterdam, try the Gouda. Nice place to stop while exploring to sample the cheese. Not too much customer service, but their cheese is vacuum sealed and safe to travel.....if you don't eat it before you fly back home. read more

This is a chain and they are everywhere in the central area. There are other cheese shops here also. If you go over to the floating market area, you will run into at least half a dozen cheese shops. But we ended up here and were given samples to try. If there was a flavor you don't see for sampling, just ask and they will cut it up for you. We didn't have any issues passing customs as these were vacuum sealed. They also provided us with wax paper to wrap our cheeses once we open them. read more

What a perfect place to get a souvenir wheel of cheese for your friends or yourself! The girl working was super friendly, and also SAMPLES! You'll definitely enjoy gazing around at walls of cheese while you choose what flavor you're bringing home. Love the packaging also as it definitely shows where you got it! AMSTERDAM! Easily travels as the cheese can be out of the fridge until it's opened. read more

We could not resist coming to this place while visiting Amsterdam. Very generous with letting us sample their delicious cheeses. I gave up cheese years ago... but damn! So so good... read more

I enjoyed stopping in here to look around and sample a few cheeses. There was little customer service as my assumption was that most people just came in for the free samples. We purchased a small gouda cheese to take back to our hotel and snack on it with some delicious bread from a nearby bakery. There were lots of cheeses to choose from as they were stacked from counter height to the ceiling. They have a great location as they are very close to Dam Square and on one of the busiest corners near Central Station. read more

You're going to see this exact same review 3x for all 3 shops as all 3 were equal in all areas. How much did we like it? Well enough to spend an additional 15min having our cheese swabbed in airport security. Yes, I took back an entire tote bag filled with a variety of cheeses (13 kinds) & yes, I took it as carry-on luggage. Yes, you CAN do that, though you may want to allow extra time for additional screening, as a bag full of cheese looks suspicious on the scanner. (Let them know ahead of time, so they flag it as odd contents and things go more smoothly) Tasting cheeses are readily available and you can taste literally EVERYTHING before you buy. Why then, with a bag filled with cheese do I give them 4 stars? Because it truly caters to tourists which resulted in higher pricing. Still, you buy KNOWING it can all fly back with you. read more

Clean store with friendly staff. Was able to try a cheese I bought for a gift. Nice packaging.

It was so cool getting to try so many cheese options here! A must visit place to see, the staff were so cool and knowledgeable about all the stores options, which made it even better to shop! Fantastic experience! read more

At first glance I thought, what a gimmicky store, definitely designed to trap tourists. After walking in and checking the place out, I was amazed. The quality of this cheese is superb. How would I know just by looking? That's where it got goooood; free samples of literally any cheese in there. Some samples were put out with pairing jellies, some on their own. If no samples were present, just ask the super friendly and helpful staff and they gladly will slice you a nice little piece! All prices are clearly posted and I think a great deal compared to what you'd pay in the states. The flavors and consistencies are just delectable. Definitely stop by, there's zero pressure to buy anything. read more

Generous cheese samples beckon between rows of tasty triangles. My favourites are the truffle and old farmer's style cheeses. You're able to try a variety of flavours here (and in every other cheese store in Amsterdam) before buying. We actually ended up getting our cheese at a local market instead, but it was fun trying out the different options here. read more

Walked by here and knew I had to pop in! They provide samples of almost all of the cheeses and have some surprising and unique varieties. We entered up buying a Truffle Farmhouse and a Goat Milk Gouda. read more

The staff was very helpful and knowledgeable. Explained a lot to me about the different cheeses and offered so many samples. Great cheese too! read more

Wall to wall of cheese! Delicious, delicious cheese. This place is akin to a lot of tourist trap brands, a store with a tight branding that sells a particular novelty food (jerky, jams, spreads) aimed primarily at tourists. It's an easy find, easy out, with a clean selection of decently tasting cheese. Though sometimes I wonder if the locals actually buy from these stores. I'd hazard a guess at not typically, since they probably know where all the really good stuffs hiding, yea? Regardless, I saw several of these just walking around Amsterdam, so they're easy for some quick souvenirs or something to nibble on. They offer a nice sampling of cheese of different ages. Staff sometimes gives tastings to tourists as well. They also sell a small range of mustard (honey, dijon, balsamic). Pros: Really clean and easy selection of cheese to take with you. Has samplings of cheese at varied maturities. (really awesome) Tourist friendly. Cons: Might be overpriced in comparison to some places with better options. Tourist friendly. If I had the time, it would have been fun to scope out the other cheese shops hiding in the nooks and crannies of Amsterdam, but I'd say ACC is a fun bet for quick and tasty cheese. read more

The cheese is great, the staff very helpful, the samples made selecting a cheese or 2 very easy! Just don't pay the 22€ for the wine and cheese tasting. It was informative especially if you wanted to know about the company, does anyone? Decent wine and very good description of how they paired with the 5 small pieces of cheese. Spend your money on the cheese in the store. read more

All I have to say is that the cheese here is supreme to the cheese in the Henry Willig stores. Like, don't even go to those tourist traps. Steps: Come here. Try samples. Find your favorite. Buy your favorite. Eat and enjoy the hell out of delicious, wonderful Gouda cheese. I legit have nothing else to add. read more

Super knowledgeable and patient staff. They were super nice while we tried literally every cheese in the shop. And let me just tell you, their cheeses are incredible. From now on, if a cheese says "Dutch," I'm buying it. We ended buying a aged goat gouda that was divine and devoured the very next day. read more

Amsterdam is a huge exporter of cheese; in fact, more than 50% of the world's Gouda is made here. So if you like cheese, walk into any of the cheese shops in town for tastings and possibly bringing home some goodies. We didn't plan well enough and bought ours at the start of our trip, which meant by the time we were to head home we weren't so sure about what we had anymore. (Yeah, we couldn't wait till we got home and had to open the package and eat some of it while we were traipsing around Europe.) This particular shop was right around the corner from our apartment. There was no other reason we chose to go here over any number of other cheese shops. I'm guessing they are all similar and offer tasty goods. Those wheels! The shelves can put you in a cheesy trance... read more

Amsterdam Cheese Company - Nice lay out and decent selection. - Cheese Shops Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

YES! For all my fellow cheese lovers out there, please check this place out. They offer tastings which I didn't do or inquire about but that's only because I was on a mission for some aged Gouda. If I didn't know what I wanted and was open to suggestions, I probably would've sought some help and done a tasting but my visit was pretty straight forward. By the way, if you've had imported aged Dutch Gouda, I can guarantee, it's still not as good as the 24 month aged Gouda you can get here. The smoked Gouda is also mouth watering and puts all other smoked cheeses to shame, full stop. For the size of the shop, their selection of cheeses was astonishing and the flavors were endless. It's also a great place to get gifts for your loved ones, just be careful of the weight of your suitcase cause cheese can get heavy. read more

Cheeeeeeese heaven Thanks for the gazillion on delicious samples Don't forget to buy the green pesto cheese. By far the best green cheese I.ve had ever! read more

Great cheese shops located throughout the city. Definitely a tourist trap, but the prices are fair and plenty of free samples. Great place to get an edible souvenir to bring home with you. read more

You will see a ton of these stores all over Amsterdam, even in the airport, and the cheeses are great! Loved sampling all the various cheeses, that ranged from regular aged cheese to pesto cheese. Prices are very fair as well! read more

Oh my wooord this place is heaven sent. So the cheese ohhh the cheese it's amazing pesto cheese sun dried tomato cheese and the dipping sauces I love how you're allowed to pair the cheese's and jelly's and mustards and sample them before you purchase ... I'm not a cheese specialist yet but because of these ladies at this shop I'm a bit closer. When visiting Amsterdam you must go to one of these shops and have this amazing experience and these cheese on top makes it even sweeter. Try the prune jelly with the natural Gouda you'll be pleasantly surprised. read more

You had me at wheels of wall-to-wall cheese as I gazed with bright eyes and a rumbly stomach from the window. This place is exactly what you expect from a cute little cheese shop in the Netherlands. Nestled in a bustling area in the heart of Amsterdam, if you're out enjoying the night, drinking, or taking in the beautiful canals, make an effort to stop here. I brought three wheels of cheese home and man, it wasn't enough! They have a nice selection of young goudas, old goudas, paprika goudas, pesto goudas, and more and more and more! My favorite was their aged gouda - slightly harder and with more 'tang' than the less-aged cheeses; I had many on my trip in the Netherlands and this one was right at the top. As an FYI, in case you're traveling and wondering, cheese IS okay to travel home to America with, as long as it's in wax or vacuum sealed, which theirs is. So go ahead, treat your family to a delicious taste of the Dutch and bring back some easy to travel with wheels of cheese from the Amsterdam Cheese Company. read more

Great little store with lots of fun and tasty treats. Prices are reasonable and they wrap in bubble wrap to help you out if you're packing things in a suitcase for home. We bought cheese, Dutch chocolates, yummy mustards, and jellies. read more

Here they have a decent selection, though a bit uniform, of Dutch cheese, and if you haven't tried Dutch cheese before, or feel a bit apprehensive about it, like me, then it's a reasonable place to start. Here you can try out many different variations with different maturity. That said, be aware, this is a tourist trap. A nice tourist trap with lots of samples, but still a very expensive one. Cheeses here are about at least double the price of similar cheese in other shops. Try one of the markets or Marqt instead. Here you'll get a better selection for less than half the price. read more

Dear Tourists, To think you will get a true dutch experience when you walk into a store that says "Amsterdam Cheese Company" is truly sad. There is nothing dutch about "Cheese", because cheese is called kaas in this country. You singlehandedly walked into a tourist trap. The cheese is ridiculously overpriced, and if you only ask the staff about their origin you will discover that not a single person that works there is actually dutch. Its all fake, and those beautiful round cheeses that lured you in? they're made from plastic. Really, just reach up and tap them. No one will stop you. No one will stop you from being an ignorant tourist, wasting your precious money and time on buying pre-vacuum-sealed-cheese (for flight purposes only). The saddest part is that there actually are real cheese stores, with real cheese, that rarely get visited by any of you. The saddest part is that you all think that you know what "dutch" is, but you don't. Tulips are turkish, wooden shoes... really wooden shoes? I don't know. If you happen to ever stumble across a dutch person in Amsterdam, which during tourist season is rare, just ask. Don't google, just ask us. Ask us how you can support small local businesses, instead of tourist traps, ask us where you can find real cheese, real people, real experience, and we'll be happy to help.

Delicious cheeses! Small samples of everything. The employees were very friendly. I especially liked the mustard cow cheese. So delicious!! Around 10 euros. I did also buy truffle cow cheese for 15 euros but the flavor was way too strong for me. I highly recommend the mustard cheese!! read more
