You're in the right place to buy some amazing Gouda from the Netherlands. This cheese shop has tons…read moreof different Gouda from young to old, from plain to interestingly spiced. They also carry cheese from other countries. But you're in the Netherlands, why would you wanna buy French cheese here? I didn't know about this shop at first, but it was recommended by my Airbnb host in den Haag. I told her about our intention to visit Gouda and find some cheese, then she told us why go there when there's a cheese shop just around the corner? The guy there was friendly to help us with the selection. He even offered samples from whatever cheese you wanna try. Of course you can't be ridiculous. He recommended plain Gouda without any herbs and spice because that's the best way to taste the cheese, but I'm not really a purist and I ended up falling in love with their fenugreek (medium aged) Gouda. Omg so good, nutty, creamy and tastes a bit like coffee! I have never seen fenugreek Gouda in the US so this is definitely one of a kind. Have a cheesy day!

It's a great way to set the stage before you head into the main attraction. The highlight of the visit is undoubtedly the cheese shop, where they offer an extensive array of samples to try. It was a lot of fun to taste the many different variations and unique flavors they have for sale. While you can certainly purchase your favorites to take home as souvenirs, the opportunity to sample so much variety was the best part of the experience for me. Whether you are looking to buy or just want to learn more about a local institution, this farm is a tasty and informative place to spend some time.
