From the owner: We zullen ons eerst even voorstellen. Wij van Biologische Slagerij Stan Alkemade zijn sinds 1990…read morebegonnen met een biologische slagerij aan het Houtplein 18 in Haarlem. Als pionier merkte we dat er veel behoefte was om te weten wat de oorsprong van het vlees is. We begonnen als Groeneweg, dat was een kleinschalige groep slagers die een samenwerkingsverband hadden met biologische boeren die graag de afzet van biologisch vlees naar de bewuste consument zag gaan. En dit blijft zo. We hebben contact met vaste boeren waar we inkopen en zodoende met constant kwaliteit, gecertificeerd biologisch vlees kunnen waarborgen. De koningshoeve Deze boerderij in Spaarnwoude levert mij Biologische limousine koeien. Deze runderen hebben een prachtige structuur in het vlees en is zacht en vol van smaak. Natuurlijk Genoegen Zij leveren mij het fantastische lamsvlees waar zij als biologisch-dynamische boerenbedrijf in gespecialiseerd zijn. Het bedrijf is gevestigd in Driehuizen en in de Schermer. Waar de lammeren in alle rust en ruimte de tijd krijgen mooi bevleesd en smakelijk te worden. Passiehoender hof Van dit bedrijf komen onze kippen en het is gevestigd in Lelystad. De verwerking vind plaats bij Scheria, die zich gespecialiseerd heeft op de be- en verwerking van kippenvlees...

How could you not come into this place? Literally the best!

Good, affordable meats here at Kema Vlees. I walked by here a hundred times before I went inside…read more It's not very large, but they pack a lot of meat in to that space! I was more shocked at the low prices and huge portions. I am not a huge "meat eater" but love chicken (Kip) and some pork. The lekker smell of smoked meats overcome you when you walk in (a good thing). So many choices of smoked meats, sides and anything you want. You could make a full meal and call it your own from the chicken shawarma prepared meals they have here...all you have to do is cook and serve! It is right next to the Ten Kate Markt on the Kinkerstraat....so some competition, but the market (generally) does not have raw meat sold in this capacity. A bit crowded at times...lines form down the street during these Covid-times...but I can't imagine how busy this place would be if there were no restrictions on capacity. A good, friendly place...huge selection. Check it out!

A Dutch friend recommended this butcher and I finally went today. How have I lived here, so close…read moreto this place, for this long and have never been? I feel ashamed! It's well-stocked with all kinds of meats (not fish of course!). There are staff members there if you need help, and they were all smiles today, something I truly appreciate. I asked if they had breakfast bacon, and sadly they don't, so he gave me something else to try. It's a clean and open area so you can easily see everything. It's all well-marked with what it is, prices, and weight. But I really couldn't believe the prices. Between three different packs of meat, a few fruit and vegetables from the market around the corner (http://www.yelp.com/biz/ten-katemarkt-amsterdam-2), was about 10 euro. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE? Obviously I've been living my life wrong. But it's okay, because I have found the way. My tip: Go here and the market first, then go to the grocery store for what ever is left on your list. My guess is that you will save at least 30-50% on your groceries! I know they take pin and cash.

They have a variety of liver paste and they sell other peculiar items. I tried two types of salamis here, both had a unique and delicious smoked taste. One of the favorites here in the Netherlands is a salami that is slowly cooked by smoke at a specific temperature for one year or so. It has a raw appearance, however the meat is fully cooked by smoke and the process they are using. All sausages or salami are served with mustard the condiment of choice in the Netherlands.

The glass…read moredisplay case containing most of the meat sits at an angle across the room so that when you enter you're looking straight at the meat. Behind the counter the butchers and their helpers are busily cutting or wrapping meat. It's definitely a busy store. As is usual for me, I stand in line awaiting my turn to come up when 15 minutes or so later I realize it's a numbered system and I have to get a number. LOL. Of course the ticket number dispenser is right at the door as soon as you come in. Doh. The staff is friendly and helpful and can even decipher my kind of okay spoken Dutch. I suppose they're happy I'm at least trying. Actually it's so good that they respond in Dutch leaving me wide eyed and confused not knowing what it is they said. The prices are okay, not low not high. The meat fresh and ample. After much research I've determined the difference in cuts of meat here in Holland. The beef is leaner and has less marbling. It makes me wonder if marbled meat is available here in Holland. Regardless, it's a nice clean friendly establishment that I'll return to many times to buy my cuts of meat especially since now I know where they're located..

My favorite butcher in Amsterdam!…read more Whenever I want to get something special, I go there. But I also go there if I want to get meat for a week dinner :D I love their range of products. They seem to have it all, and the things they do not, you might be very much able to order. You can have goose or duck rillette, homemade boudin noir, boudin blanc with truffles, English breakfast sausages, other types of sausages which names I do not remember, multiple pâtés, mousse du canard...And I haven't even started on the meat. I highly suggest you visit them. They even have pig legs, if you are fan of homemade aspic. The people who work there are super nice, some also have the famous French accent. They speak English and Dutch, so do not fear. You can pay cash or Dutch pin. Speaking of paying - the prices are very good. My only problem is that they are closed on Mondays and Sundays, and they are not open til late. Therefore, if you need something from there plan it well. Otherwise - #meatlessmonday is a trend now ;)

Vind je het lekker paarden te eten? Dit is jouw plaats!…read more One of the last remaining horse butchers around. You are literally walking into history in this store because horse meat used to be a primary food source to the lower class in the Netherlands. When I first walked by this store, I thought they used the wrong clip-art for the sign and placed a horse in error of a cow. That wasn't the case. Some thoughts to prepare you: don't think happy thoughts - like black beauty, rocinante, or wild horses running free. Go to the zoo if you need that; this is not the time. Think lekker thoughts - this horse did not die in vain. You are about to embark on a culinary journey that will turn you into a horse-eating monster (in the eyes of some people). Also, make sure you know enough Dutch to place your order. English will not get you far here. They are open some weekdays and Saturday mornings. When you enter, you will be greeted by two lovely dames that will be happy to take your order. You should get as much huisgerookt "paardenwurst" as you can carry. If they have bacon (one of the only non-horse products in the store) - snatch that up fast. The other cuts of meat are extremely lean and a bit gamey (think between beef and venison).
