    Strolling Amsterdam Canal and came to this place. It was so cute and smells so good. I love cheese but to taste all their various flavors were so heavenly. There were so many but the one that stands out was the Truffle Goat Cheese. I could have stayed there . The attendants were friendly .

    Amazing place, must go. Sampled every single cheese. Definitely want to make this a stop when in Amsterdam.

    Cheeses galore

    We stumbled into this gem after our tour of the Anne Frank House. On the corner across the canal this quaint shop is a must. There are samples everywhere. Gouda, Brie, Skylger, cumin seeded Gouda, pesto flavors. Cow and goat cheeses. Super friendly staff and after a chat a few extra samples that were yummy. If you're a foodie that loves cheese please stop in. You will be in for a treat!

    Unfortunately, the museum located downstairs was flooded. We walked around the cheese shop, which had a large variety. There are samples available. We didn't buy anything though, because the cheese slices were cut quite big. I wished there were smaller packages. There is a cute display of a wheel of cheese and a cow outside the store.

    Free samples, lots of variety of cheese, and a free museum - what is not to love! We stopped by twice during our time in Amsterdam, the first to kill time before a dinner reservation which is when we explored the cheese museum in the basement, that is small but informative (and free) and we tried some samples and notes our favorites. We stopped by on a later date to purchase our favorite cheese, and make sure we didn't miss any great samples the first time. The prices are a little high, but the quality and variety of cheese is great! I love that most of the cheeses are travel friendly, which is a huge plus! However, unlike most places I visited in Amsterdam I will say the customer service was not as noticeable. The only interaction I had was when making a purchase, and it was mostly just telling me my total. So if you are wanting more of an experience where you can ask questions or get recommendations this might not be your top spot, but if you want to solo explore some free samples and choose your favorites than you'll love it!

    It was so fun!! Incredible cheeses to sample all around :) came from USA to see Amsterdam and this was on the list, and it didn't disappoint!! Vibe was immaculate!

    Loved my experience here! So many perfectly wrapped and gift ready cheeses! The girl was friendly and encouraged guests to try the yummy cheese

    Very kind staff, amazing cheese, and great vibe! I will be coming back! I bought 3 and it was hard not to get more!

    OMG! After the Tulip Museum we stumbled upon this! The "museum" bit is down stairs but the real action is in the retail area. There was one very enthusiastic worker dude who was generous with the samples and recommendations. And boy, people were buying cheese hand over fist! In addition to cheese, there are crackers and fantastic mustards, too. Delish!!!

    Really interesting but very small. Basically a gray place to drop by and try some cheese. Very cool that it is free.

    Nice spot to get some Dutch cheese. Excellent to taste test as well. For sure not a museum, but worth a visit for sure.

Explore everything here! We came to Dutch Delicacy on pure accident, as we were walking around and saw that they had a ton of different goudas for sale. In the front part of the store is a take-out counter where they sell hot items, like sandwiches and baked pastries and desserts, like cheesecakes and cookies the size of your face! It all looked appealing and would've totally purchased a food item, had we not had lunch beforehand. Throughout the store were the cheese samples of the many different various kinds. It goes beyond what you thought gouda could be. There are sheep's and goat's cheeses for many of the different types. There are pesto cheeses that come in different colors like a bright blue and pink. There are cheeses that pair well with the dips that had me thinking about my next dinner party. There's Dutch chocolate here for sale. There's different knives for cutting cheese. There's truly everything here you could imagine for your gouda-filled meal. Staff was super friendly and asked if we needed any help or wanted to know more about any of the different cheeses. For sale, a lot of the goudas are pre-packaged for a pound and meets airline security measures for taking it home with you. I'm glad we stumbled upon Dutch Delicacy. We were able to try so many different cheeses, which I found a few for home. I recommend for anyone visiting Amsterdam to make a stop here; there's a lot of items you'll want to take home with you.

    If you're a cheese lover like me then this store will be an absolute paradise…read more It took all I had in me not to roll those wheels back to our hotel. Honestly, the notorious Amsterdam staircases are what prevented that from taking place lol. Old Amsterdam makes some of the finest cheeses in the world today. They've been around a long time and are still extremely relevant in the dairy world. So much flavor and goodness in everything they produce. The store isn't large but they have a lot to offer. It's easy to move about inside. Employees are friendly. The samples flow freely.

    You're going to see this exact same review 3x for all 3 shops as all 3 were equal in all areas…read more 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. For this particular shop, I highly recommend the vintage edition- the oldest cheese they sell- I bought 3 of them and already regret not getting more. While the brand is available stateside, that particular vintage is not.
