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.

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.

They had samples of all kinds of cheese and the sales people weren't pushy at all. It was what we would expect from a European cheese boutique. We made the mistake however of assuming that these cheeses, made just 20 minutes from the Centrum according to the man at the register, would be pure and free of additives. Unfortunately after the fact I realised that the two cheeses we bought (Baby Natural 400gr €7.95 & Baby Old Willing 400gr €10.95) both contain sodium nitrate and colouring in the form of annatto, so I would not buy from them again.

We went into a few to browse and found the many cheese samples delightfully fragrant but wanted to learn more about its origins and the manufacturing of the products. We took a Food and Culture Tour today to get a thirty minute glimpse of the inner workings of Henri Willig. This location was in the Flower Market district and went to the upstairs Cheese Museum where a video was playing explaining the history of Henri Willig's cheese empire and how it started in Amsterdam from the goats, sheep and cows on the farms in Holland. Below the Cheese Museum was the storefront with two ladies dressed in old Holland farmhouse attire with a display of ten different cheeses. They gave an indepth explanation of each cheese and dipping sauce with a question & answer portion. My favorite cheese was the Herb and Garlic. Some people on the tour made cheese purchases. FYI, the cheeses are stamped for customs to declare, except for some reason an issue in England. Meats, dipping sauces and wines are also offered in the store. Stongly recommend to anyone looking for cheese in Amsterdam to take a peek at this company.

Just reach out - because sometimes you just prefer that someone else grates your pecorino romano and they're more than willing to help with that! Vacuum sealing your purchase is also an option for tourists who want to bring some cheese back home. My only minor complaint is that sometimes you really just want a small portion (100g or so) of a certain cheese but more often than not, you'll end up with much more than you asked for. But just shut up and eat the cheese, it's all good :)

Henri Willig is as touristy as they come, but their cheeses are delicious. Major bonus points for having plentiful samples of just about everything on offer in the store. If you want to try a cheese that's not out, just ask. The friendly woman behind the counter was happy to slice a hunk of the extra aged gouda for me. This is a great way to sample the different kinds of gouda, munster, and more that are produced in the country. It's also fun to compare the cheese at different stages of aging. They feature cow, goat, and sheep's milk cheeses, and some come in interesting flavors like pumpkin, truffle, or coconut. But I'm a purist when it comes to cheese, so I stuck to the simple and plain gouda. The prices are a bit high, but the shop will pack your cheese for travel. They also offer some very snazzy looking gift sets if you want to take an edible souvenir (the best kind) to your friends back home.
