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.

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.

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.

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.

I discovered this place accidentally on my first trip to Amsterdam, but I've made it a point to revisit it every time since. The cheese is unbelievable, but the best part is that they have samples of EVERYTHING out for you to try. It's a tiny tiny tiny store, but packed with so much variety and quality that you'll never want to leave. I love to come here, pick a sandwich (my favorite is a warmed up Vintage, but the brie sandwiches are also all pretty good), try the samples while I'm waiting for my sandwich to be ready, and then take the sandwich to go as I continue to stroll around the canals. This place is pretty nostalgic, but I think it's rather objectively a true gem of Amsterdam. It's right next to the church by the red light district, which is a super close walk from Centraal Station. tl;dr -- do yourself a favor and pay this deli a visit. or two!

This is in a touristy area and a nice store, recommended by my language class who used to hold classes across the street. Millions of cheese selections and a couple of friendly guys waiting on me. But difficult to read the chalkboard menu and felt too under pressure when ordering. My point is that other places here are less stressful - even for immigrants like me. Also, I felt little ability to separate from others here. People were up around and behind me.

Amazing sandwich selection…read more I know, I know, this is a cheese store, but they also have fresh made sandwiches. So you can try their amazing cheese on hearty bread with toppings that highlight the amazing flavors. I was so sad that I discovered this place on my last day. I'm salivating just thinking about the sandwiches. My husband said probably all cheese shops have sandwiches. Not true. We went into other cheese shops after this and didn't find it. Therefore, I have to direct you to this place if you are ever in Amsterdam. You will not be disappointed!
