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.

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.

This place was GOUDA, absolutely un-BRIE-lievable. My friend is obsessed with cheese and while in…read moreamsterdam I knew we needed to stop and spend some CHEDDAR at a worthwhile place. 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.

The man who assisted us was beyond knowledgeable about his cheeses and also had an amazing passion for the wines he's selected to sell in then shop. We enjoyed both the cheese (one he was sure we couldn't get back home) and the bottle of wine he recommended. We will absolutely be back next time we visit Amsterdam.

We learned about Gouda, the tools used to make cheese now and in the days of olde. Tons of fun photo ops and props. And once again, the tastings. I swear we tried at least 15 different cheeses. Had the cheesiest time! A+.

Was gonna go with some of my favs but the nice lady offered me to try the Amsterdam ones and she let me try the strong and mild both really good and tastey. Plus she gave me a whole slice not some cheap little Cube you get at the grocery store. She said bye to us about 5 times which was extremely sweet nice lady nice service and great 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.

Cheese! Cheese! Glorious cheese…read more 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.

When in Amsterdam, try the Gouda…read more 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.

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!

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.
