Cheeses in Amsterdam
Tip: Canada Customs allows hard and semi hard cheeses back into Canada. Technically you can bring 20 kilos or $20 worth of cheese back into Canada. I don’t know where you can buy 20 kilos of cheese for $20 or who would want to eat such a thing. In practice I’ve never been asked about the specific value of my cheese but have been asked whether the cheese was runny, soft or liquid and if it was packaged with a shrink wrap.
Reypenaer Cheese Tasting Room Amsterdam is a delight for the cheese lover. 182 at the South East corner of the Nine Little Streets it’s a must for food lovers visiting the city. http://www.wijngaardkaas.nl/en/proeflokaal
Reypenaer XO is the Wijngaard families King of Cheeses. They claim that the cheese factory itself contributes to the maturation process so important to this cheese. The accumulation of micro organisms and aroma aged into the wood of the building built in 1906 on the Rhine river are factors in the flavour of this protein and fat rich cow cheese. This specialty gouda must be aged at least one year to be called Reypenaer, the XO loses approximately a quarter of it’s weight in the aging process.
De Kaaskamer van Amsterdam Runstaat 7 is a member of SlowFood . Also in the Nine Little Streets they carry nearly 400 cheeses. Here you’ll find the best cheeses of Holland and Europe along with wine, salads and lots of great take away.
Kaashandel Wout Arxhoek Damstraat 17 – 19 carries an excellent variety of cheeses but I especially like their selection of small round goudas and specialty Dutch products. A trip to this store right off Dam Square could take care of all your shopping.
