Cute little cheese shop with small and fast cheese museum attached. In the museum, there's a short video showing how they care for the cows, explaining that happy cows produce amazing cheese. 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. read more

This was our first stop of our cheese tour in Amsterdam. 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. read more

Amazingly tasty Gouda! Very cute goats! We also got a really cool cheese making tour! I 10/10 would recommend visiting Henri Willig cheese farm! read more

We were told that we can take these cheeses to go, and that it would stay out of the refrigerator safely for 4 weeks. There were so many samples and each one was better than the next. They had nuts and wine as well. Fabulous gift idea! We purchased beautiful Dutch cheese knives, wine & round gift cheeses. There were wine nuts, mustards & spreads. We were told that we can order on line they ship in 4 days to New Jersey warehouse. read more

Henri Willig - Cheese Shops Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

This is such a charming and unique spot, currently celebrating its 50th anniversary. The business has been run by three generations of the same family. When we arrived, we watched a fascinating demonstration of how their cheese is made. Inside, there were at least 20 different types of cheese to sample, each offering unique and delicious flavors. The prices are a bit steep, with a single block of cheese costing around $20-$25, but the quality makes it worthwhile. Overall, it's a delightful place with excellent service, rich history, and amazing cheese that's definitely worth trying. read more

We had an amazing trip out to the country in Amsterdam to visit this cheese shop... amazing to learn the process of making such delicious cheese we were able to sample at least 20 different types our favor where the smoked Gouda's and the pesto and truffle. We also tried a lavender cheese which was delicious. The shipping was so easy €15 to ship it back to the states so we really took advantage of this.... The mustard's and the jams are delicious as well. 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

The smoked jalapeño is hands down the best cheese here imo! But their other flavors are also great. The coconut was definitely unique along with the pesto cheese. read more

We visited Amsterdam in January and of course some of the Henri Willig Cheese Stores. Great diversity of cheese and gifts. The staff was very friendly also. Accidently I discovered the online shop and couldn't wait to order! Very easy and fast to order and friendly customer service. I love the Garlic, Herbs & Garlic and Red Pesto Cheese ! The Cheese is worth the price and I am definitely going to order again ! read more

Cheese it! Anyway you like!! Any flavor! Any age! All so pretty, stacked up. Clean! Beautiful! Tasty! And the best part is location. I stayed right around the corner from here. And this was right smack in the middle of that beautiful oh so popular tulip shops! The shops on the canals. One can go from ceiling full of flowers and picking tulips to tasting cheese in no time. They have savory and sweet ones. And its right next door to a pot shop. I think that was strategic for smokers. Either that or they just know exactly what they want. Cheese, check! Flowers outside: check! Free samples in a room full of cheese: check check! Stop in! You might like what you taste. read more

I get my butter in Paris, but I get my cheeses in Amsterdam. Why? One of the best! I don't get to go to Netherlands that often, but when I do. I go to the cheese shops! Henri Willig Kaas is one of my favorites. Free samples and great selection. I love the coconut and lavender cheeses. I tried to look for the coconut cheeses in other stores, but I couldn't find them. This one does! Be sure to check them out and taste one of the best. read more

I find this place smaller than the other Henri Willig locations but it still provides the same cheese selections but maybe in less variety. Though there are still handful of samples to try and the staff are still helpful. This location seems more of an atmosphere for a cheese shop, many of the other retailers seem more trendy. But then again, it's Henri Willig cheese; there are many locations and this location has a little less pizzazz to it, so that's why I am keeping my description short. The Storefront photo by Pedro L. is wrong, it's of a different Henri Willig Cheese & More. The shop at the Singel 518 address is on the flowers market and the Storefront has a green and yellow sign. read more

I have had tried 5 different cheeses when we were in Amsterdam and I was pleased by the taste, it is all I wanted so I purchased 4 to bring home into Canada. However, when my hubby and I tried the first 2 different kind it was not the same taste. It is still okay but if I know that the taste would be different from the samples I would not have bothered buying & bringing it home. I can always buy cheeses in Canada but I thought of trying different cheeses from AMS. I don't even understand why the taste is completely different. read more

I'm a cheese person, and while this cheese isn't small batch special- it IS big batch special. For a huge producer like this, the quality is very high. I took home to sealed cannonballs of this stuff- one with seeds (mustard, I think) and one plain, and it was one of the best souvenirs ever. I wrapped it up in T shirts in my suitcase, and it traveled fine. We enjoyed tasting all the cheeses- go before lunch, you'll need to eat a lot less at the restaurant. They had flavors I've not tried before, and even if you don't like them, it's fun to experiment, and you really know what you're getting before you buy. read more

Cheese shop in the Central Station. After sampling some cheese, I bought the lavender gouda. According to the sore attendant, you can bring cheese on the airplane back to the U.S. as long as it's vacuum sealed and made from pasteurized milk -- which is the case for nearly all the cheese in the shop. read more

What's not to love about a musuem dedicated entirely to cheese. Well, okay, it isn't actually a huge museum, it is just a single room with some photos on the wall, some cheese making equipment, and a guy that tells you how the cheese is made. In fact it is just a step to try to get you to go downstairs and buy some cheese. Mind you, I would have actually gone and bought the cheese if it wasn't for the fact that I live in Australia and don't want my cheese confiscated at quarantine. However, they do have cheese tasting in the shop as well so you can try before you buy, and I have to admit that the cheese is actually pretty nice. They also ship overseas and you can order online, so I'm going to give that ago when I get back home. read more

My friend and I were walking along, enjoying the canal, when an outdoor display of huge wheels of cheese caught my eye. I was drawn inside. We found that they offered a few too many samples, but you can't turn them down! There cheese is absolutely fantastic, and after trying seven different types, I purchased the goat cheese with herbs. I suggest stopping in to try the cheese and the stroopwafels. Yes, I had a slight issue getting it through security, but it made it back safely to the states. Theoretically this would have made a perfect gift, but I had a hard enough time sharing it... Rach is right, it will stay for three months, yet why would you wait to each such a fantastic item? read more

Cheese makes me happy! Landing in the land of Dutch cheese, which I must say takes the wheel over Irish cheese any day. I am known for walking around the great international city of Amsterdam, and randomly stopping when I see a BIG WHEEL of cheese in ANY window and having them cut me a piece of whatever seems good. Now that being said, when I went into Henri Willig's I was ISO cheese to bring home to the US as gifts, and low and behold I was in the perfect place. First and foremost, there are samples out of ALL their cheese that you can try and NOT have a sales person badgering you - Smiling my way to cheesy heaven!!! The staff was helpful and friendly (again, I've been to Amsterdam a few times and the Dutch here don't warm up to Americans very well, so finding locals who are friendly and helpful is a bonus!) The price is about 8 euros for one block. They have gift items available too, with smaller portions and different flavors of cheese. The cheese can be bought back to the US without any issues, as long as you keep it sealed. It will last.....and this is the kicker....for 3 months un-refrigerated. I think there still might be a wheel stowed in my luggage...I should double check, for cheese sake! :) read more

Yum! Stumbled upon this place while walking back from the Kalvertoren Shopping Center. Walked in with my companion (who is also a cheese lover) and were immediately excited by piles of free samples everywhere. It was a nice set up because these cheese wheels were pretty hefty and it would make sense to be allowed to try before buying. They had a special on cheeses - 6 in a cute little bag for €45 (vs. €8 each, save a little money). The cheese was SO delicious and they said you're allowed to bring it overseas and on the plane, as long as it's not unwrapped. We were told that because the cheese is sealed in wax, it will keep unrefrigerated for 3 months. Definitely recommend this as a place to pick up souvenirs for your family. Dutch cheese, yum! read more

There're probably much cheaper places to get cheese but I keep going back here. The two-year old goat's milk cheese is so damn good! I picked up a wedge of that and a small wheel of one-year old goat's milk to bring back home to NY. There's also free samples of everything they sell. The only problem is that you're going to want to buy one of each! read more

My husband bought me some Henri Willig cheese during his business trip and I just had a few slices of their truffle cheese with crackers and it was delicious! My husband said the service was awesome and the samples were plentiful. He isn't much of a cheese lover, but he braved the tastings to buy me some awesome cheese. If you are a cheese lover you've got to go to this shop and sample some cheese. Bring some home for your loved ones. I'm sure they will appreciate it! read more

My brother-in-law is hard to buy for, but he loves good food. I brought back 2 different cheeses for him in a gift bag. He loved them. I had no trouble getting them through customs, as they are pasteurized and sealed. It was very hard to make up my mind which ones to buy, as they are very generous with their samples. After nibbling 6-7, I made my selection. Almost a must-see. I went to the one in Central Station. read more

As far as I know, this is the only place to get honey stroopwafels. That alone gives it 5 stars because the caramel ones are gross. Also, free cheese doesn't hurt. At all. Like I think I went into every cheese store I passed every single time just to see if anything was different. It was all the same, and mainly the aged ones are really any good. Back to the point though. Honey stroopwafels! read more

Delicious cheese, chocolate, and Dutch waffles. Lots of samples out. I bought a few things in the store but they also ship to the US. The gentleman working in the store was very courteous and helpful. read more

My husband and I were so pleased to stumble upon this Dutch cheese shop in Central Amsterdam. There are samples of every variety, and no pressure to buy. The 10-20 different varieties range in price from 5-12 euros for generous servings that are packaged to travel. The shopkeepers were very helpful and explained the cheese can be brought back to the US if unopened, and stays unrefrigerated for up to two months, and up to 6 months in the fridge. We enjoyed taste-testing and selecting a few varieties to bring back to the US with us! read more

We visited the dairy where this cheese is made. It is just two Euros cheaper there than the shop. Cannot stop eating this delicious cheese. It keeps for years unopened and the shop staff are so helpful. You can taste EVERYTHING IN THE SHOP. Best thing to buy in Amsterdam. read more

There were cheese samples for most of the displayed cheese on hand. I wish I could've taken home more, but only had so much space in my suit case. I took home some great goat cheese, but what really stuck out was the chocolate bar I bought. I only bought one bar and now I can only dream of the next time I visit the area. read more

Love! Sooo many cheese samples I felt inclined to buy. My travel buddy isn't that into cheese, but really liked theirs. Plus side - no employees bother you while you sample your face off. read more

If you read my review on Chipsy King, then you'll know the "other" MUST DO in Amsterdam is to get your hands on some cheese. Not just any cheese, but specifically Polder Gold's sheep cheese. First of all I have to say, I am utterly shocked that of all things I loved about my trip to Amsterdam, walking away saying I had some of the best cheese in my life, was not a declaration I expected to make. I was fortunate enough to experience the glory of Dutch cheese tasting on my first day there when we strolled into Henry Willig. Just like any good market, there were arrays of tasting trays where you not only get to try some of the finest cheeses, but also get to revel in some of their delicious mustards. I was introduced to some amazing cheese and happily worked my way around the fairly large and diverse cheese shop. But what really spoke to me was the Polder Gold's sheep cheese which is a caliber in itself. It's hard like Spanish manchego cheese, but has a soft and buttery texture to it when it melts in your mouth. I shelled out a whopping €18.50 which is almost $25, an amount I've never put forth for cheese! However the price was totally worth it and it was a remarkable, if short lived keepsake I brought back to the States with me. I also bought Polder Gold's goat cheese from another shop. Both sheep and goat cheeses are superb. A big thanks to the Henry Willig shop for opening my eyes to the wonders of Dutch cheese! read more

Went in tasted the cheese asked if we could take it back in a carry on they said yes at multiple locations. Went back the next day bought multiple packs of cheese went through security and it was confiscated. They should look into if it is truly allowed because I just waisted 30 dollars. Not too happy... read more
