How Dutch Gouda Is Made At A 100-Year-Old Family Farm | Regional Eats
Every year, 650 million kilos of Gouda cheese is produced in the Netherlands. Most of it is produced industrially, using pasteurized milk, but there are 280 farmers across the country still making raw-milk boerenkaas, or farmer's cheese. And there are only two farms that take their cheese to the next level, making Boeren Goudse Oplegkaas, or aged artisanal Gouda, a special type of raw-milk farmhouse cheese that must weigh at least 20 kilograms, must age at least two years, and can be made only in the summer with cattle grazing in the Green Heart region, between the cities of Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and Utrecht.
We met with cheesemaker Marije Van der Poel, who lives on an island in the village of Rijpwetering in South Holland with her husband, Hugo, and their three children and makes 15 wheels of aged artisanal Gouda every day at the back of their house.

How Dutch Gouda Is Made At A 100-Year-Old Family Farm | Regional Eats
Cheese Shop in Amsterdam
Walking through a cheese store in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Dutch people are crazy about cheese. It's is a real Cheese country. Did you know that on average about 17 kilos of cheese is eaten per person per year in the Netherlands?
The name of the shop is Cheese Inn (located near the Amsterdam Central railway station). You can taste all kinds of cheese like Old Amsterdam, Gouda, Young Cheese, Raw milk cheese, and many more (more than 100 different types of cheese are sold, as well as the best cheese slicers, knives, graters and cheese pans). If you are a cheese lover like me, you have to take a visit when you're traveling in Amsterdam.
The company has over 48 years of experience with various types of cheese and dairy products. All cheeses that are being sold are produced with organic milk produced by grazing cows eating fresh grass. The adress of the store is: Damrak 37, Amsterdam, North Holland, The Netherlands.
The oldest proofs of producing cheese in the Netherlands are from 800 BC. the Netherlands is regarded as a cheese country. How did the Netherlands get this name? Here's an overview of the cheese history of the Netherlands.
Earliest evidence of cheese production:
After researching found pottery jars from 800 BC. It turned out they were the proof for making cheese in the Netherlands. The jars were filled with holes, in which the curd (clotted milk, after the addition of rennet) leaked out and could dry. The first mention of cheese in the Netherlands in literature came from Julius Caesar. In his book De bello Gallico, he said that cheese was eaten in the present Netherlands.
Dutch cheese in the Middle Ages:
In the Middle Ages, the production of cheese in the Netherlands really started to take off. Especially the provinces of North Holland, South Holland and Friesland were the most suitable for cows and therefore for making cheese because of the wet soil. Farmers who lived in these provinces even specialized in creating cheese.
How did the Netherlands become a cheese country?
During the Golden Age, the cheese export went up exponentially. This gives the Netherlands the name of being a cheese country. Cheese carriers in Alkmaar gathered together in 1593 in a guild. Gouda cheese and Edam cheese are nevertheless the two most famous Dutch varieties, which are eventually distributed worldwide. In 1840, an Uruguayan battleship would have used Edammer cheese as cannonballs, destroying the mast of a ship from argentina.
The Netherlands is a cheese exporter:
In modern times, Dutch farmers have slowly switched from cheese production on the farm to cheese production in cheese factories. With the production of almost 800 million kilos of cheese per year, the Netherlands is one of the largest cheese makers in Europe. It's not without reason that cheese is the only food for which the Netherlands is known internationally. Every year many tourists arrive at a city like Gouda, only to enjoy the Dutch cheeses.

History of Dutch Cheese
The Dutch association with cheese dates back to pre-Christian times. Archaeologists have found remains of cheese-making equipment dating back to 200 B.C. By the Middle Ages, making and trading cheese had assumed a central position in Dutch life. Cheese markets flourished and towns that were granted weighing rights were able to build Weigh Houses and enjoyed special status. De Waag in Gouda is one of the most beautiful weigh houses in Holland. From that time on, Holland further developed as a world leader in the dairy industry.

Cheese Inn Amsterdam, Holland

The Gouda Cheese Market • Traditional Dutch Market • THE NETHERLANDS
Every summer, Gouda’s old town square goes retro. Monster hunks of cheese, wooden shoes and old-timey traders haggling over the price by slapping hands. It starts with cheese but you’ll also find your week supply of tulip bulbs, fresh fruit & vegetables, fashionable sweaters. (Please don’t forget to give the street organ a tip for playing Tuplen uit Amsterdam”.
If you want to stop by, just note that the Cheese market is only active on a few Thursdays in the summer months, although you can catch Gouda's regular market each Thursday regardless of the season.)

A cheese lover's dream in Amsterdam
In 10 days I covered 6 countries, and my final stop was to spend two days playing tourist in Amsterdam. I ate at De Plantage, a beautiful green house type restaurant with a mini zoo next door. I visited the windmill city and saw how paint color is ground down. But most importantly, I tried like 30 types of cheese!
I didnt spend any time in the pot coffee shops, or dabble too much in the red light district. But, I do think those places are must-sees. I did walk through the red light district and saw the difference between day and night. What an adventure. If I wasn't there with my mom I may have experimented a bit more.
Details for this trip is on the blog:

Alkmaar Cheese Market in The Netherlands
Alkmaar in the Netherlands has the world’s biggest, most-visited and best cheese market, There is no prettier or more characteristic Dutch sight than this cheese market, with these guys in white running around carrying these big loads of cheese back and forth. What is going on? You are about to find out.
For centuries the cheese market has been important for the city of Alkmaar and in recent years it has developed into one of the leading visitor attractions in the country. It's an easy day trip from Amsterdam, just about 40 minutes away by train or by guided tour on a bus.
Alkmaar is much more than just cheese. It's a typical small Dutch city which means it has many historic, well-preserved buildings and beautiful canals lots of shops, restaurants, cafés and pedestrian lanes to stroll on. We will see more of the town in a different segment but for now we are focusing attention on the wonderful cheese market.
Almost 700 years ago, Alkmaar was already a cheese town. In 1365 the city was granted weighing rights and got their first cheese scale -- in 1612 this number of scales increased to four.
Over time, the cheese market frequently needed more space. Markets were the economic engine in those days, so houses were sometimes demolished to increase market space. Over the course of two centuries, it was enlarged no fewer than eight times before reaching its current dimensions.
Alkmaar's status as the cheese capital has become increasingly famous over the years and the cheese market became ever more popular, and now it’s the biggest in the country.
In the past, most cheese was transported by boat or horse. And this centuries-old tradition has survived in part to this very day. During every market, cheese laden boats sail from the North Holland Canal to the square, just as they did in the past.
The market is on every Friday from the end of March through September and during July and August it also functions on Tuesday evenings.
The cheese workers are members of the cheese guild, like a union, and they’re divided up into teams as shown by their hat colors, blue, yellow, red and green.
The overall manager is called the Cheese Father and he wears an orange hat.
We had a chance to speak with an official of the group who helped describe the situation for us
My position, is I was the Cheese Father of this guild for many years and now I am the tourist guide.
We’ll hear more from Kees Koopman during the program.
Right before 10.00 AM everyone waits for the market to get under way as the lady speaker welcomes visitors in as many languages as possible. She tells the general public about what they’re about to see at the market.
In a few minutes the bell is ringing and the market is starting.
At 10 am the bell rings (bell sound). It’s the sign indicating the start of the cheese market. The ringing of the bell is often done by a visitor to the market, at the invitation of the council of Alkmaar. For example it might be a famous Dutch person from sports or TV, or a foreign ambassador.
As soon as the market opens, the samplers and traders go to work. Inspecting cheese is more than just looking at its exterior. Cheese is knocked on and a special cheese scoop is used to obtain a piece, which is then crumbled between the fingers and smelled. And, naturally, it is tasted to assess the relation between taste, and the percentages of fat and moisture.
Many lucky people in the audience get a free taste and some of them even get to push that coring tool into the cheese, it's something like an apple corer and pull out a sample for themselves
It will come as no surprise that everybody will have a chance to purchase as much cheese as they want from the vendors who are surrounding the cheese market area — you'll see more of that coming right up.
Cheese is transported on the wooden barrow hanging between two cheese carriers, holding about 8 Gouda cheeses, each of them weighing 13,5 kilos. Carrying a heavy barrow, with a total weight of about 130 kilos.
Walking with that heavy barrow or stretcher appears much easier than it seems. But there is a special technique. In order to facilitate the walking rhythm and to prevent the stretcher from hitting their legs, the men walk 'out of step' in the strange looking cheese bearers' trot. This keeps the stretcher movement to a minimum, ensuring the barrow hangs as still as possible.
[Music plays]
We work you see with four groups, you see four different colors. Each group is seven people. There are six carriers and the seventh works on the scale – that is a very important man because in the early days, he counts the money from the buyers, the ones who have trade, for each kilo that we carry.
We've got the two big factories here in the north of the Netherlands and they make millions of kilos of cheese each year, and it goes around the world.
