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.

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.

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.

He sources some of the finest local hams, meats, wines and other things which are fundamentals for all foodies out there. Its not cheap, but its worth every penny. I buy my eggs here (always check if they're not broken) and of course croissants. Erik's frozen croissants are the best kept secret in town. Buy them at the shop (keep them cool untill you get home) and then throw them into the oven at 182C for exactly 18 minutes and you will never feel the urge to buy anywhere else again! Oh yeah, the cheese is fantastic as well. He had one of the finest collection of Dutch cheeses in town. Whenever I go abroad, I them vacuumed so they can fly along for gifts. Not surprisingly, people love it.

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.
