A solid stop if you want a proper, structured cheese tasting while in Amsterdam. Located in a…read morehistoric canal house along the Singel, it's a nice alternative to the typical fast-paced cheese shops in Centrum. The guided tasting takes place downstairs in a small, classroom-style setting. You're given a score sheet, a small guillotine slicer, and a lineup of six cheeses--ranging from younger Wyngaard varieties to their heavily aged Reypenaer VSOP and XO Reserve (which has those nice, crunchy protein crystals). Each sample is paired with a wine or port and a bit of specialty mustard. The staff is knowledgeable and keeps things moving at a good pace, explaining how the natural aging process in their historic Woerden warehouse shapes the flavor. The shop upstairs carries all the cheeses from the tasting, along with slicers and accessories if you want to pick something up on your way out. It's an informative, well-organized hour that gives you a genuine appreciation for artisan Dutch cheese.

As far as cheese tasting goes, Reypenaer is a must when in Amsterdam. Highly recommend making a…read morebooking/reservation. Food: Cheese! Paired with wine. You'll get about 6-7 cheeses to try. Cost: €17.50 per person. Overall: Tastings are limited to roughly 20 people each time, and they last about an hour. You'll get a sheet to document the cheese names, what you taste, smell, age of cheese, etc. You'll also get an education on cheese, and how these are made. They take cards, and you'll get a discount to purchase cheeses in the store if you're interested.

Downstairs is where you can sample about 8 cheeses and then decide what to buy. Almost every cheese also has a "dip" suggested to accompany it, and you can taste them plain and with the dips. Cheese is vacuum-sealed with certificates so you should be able to safely take some home with you.

This was our first stop of our cheese tour in Amsterdam…read more This cheese making family has been making Gouda and other cheeses since 1974. This cheese farm allows you to browse the countryside farm,see the cows getting milked by a computer controlled milking machine, have a cheese tasting and visit their cheese store. Their prices are good and they offer many types of flavored cheeses. Definitely a highlight of our tour.

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.

When we walked in the staff were immediately in-FETA-ble. The guy that helped us was extremely knowledgable and passionate. Even though my friend is a little bit of a cheese MUENSTER the staff spent the extended time helping him to get everything he wanted in order. Originally we hoped to do a formal cheese tasting but were not BLEU when that fell through due to how amazing our experience was here. In QUESO you are on the fence about going here, they have a lot of samples to choose from you can figure out exactly what you want. You RICOTTA try this place.

But then they broke out the "wine pearls" (basically popping boba filled with wine) to put on top of the cheese curls. Their tasting setup feels like a trap because they let you sample all these incredible cheeses until you're completely addicted, and next thing you know you're considering mortgaging your house just to buy as much as you can physically carry. They have a great selection ranging from young to aged Goudas, plus a neat little educational display showing traditional Dutch cheese making. If you're in Amsterdam, do not skip the Henri Willig Cheese Farm Store on Haringpakkerssteeg. Just be prepared to leave with a much lighter wallet and a heavy bag of cheese.

So many types of Dutch cheese here, and they let you sample all of them! Personally, I prefer the…read moreplain ones more than the flavored ones, since I can savor the pure intended cheese flavor. If I had to choose a flavored cheese, I would choose truffle. However, some of the more interesting flavors here were coconut, asparagus, lavender, beer, and smoked goat cheese. The cheeses surprisingly did taste like their labeled flavors...in a non-weird way too. Many people buy their gift sets. The unique flavors do make great gifts. Just be sure to buy the hard cheeses to carry on for long-haul flights as the soft cheeses would spoil quickly over time.

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.

This is in a touristy area and a nice store, recommended by my language class who used to hold classes across the street. Millions of cheese selections and a couple of friendly guys waiting on me. But difficult to read the chalkboard menu and felt too under pressure when ordering. My point is that other places here are less stressful - even for immigrants like me. Also, I felt little ability to separate from others here. People were up around and behind me.

Amazing sandwich selection…read more I know, I know, this is a cheese store, but they also have fresh made sandwiches. So you can try their amazing cheese on hearty bread with toppings that highlight the amazing flavors. I was so sad that I discovered this place on my last day. I'm salivating just thinking about the sandwiches. My husband said probably all cheese shops have sandwiches. Not true. We went into other cheese shops after this and didn't find it. Therefore, I have to direct you to this place if you are ever in Amsterdam. You will not be disappointed!
