Dutch Cheese

Holland is truly a 'land of cheese'. The names Gouda and Edam are more synonymous in the rest of the world with cheese than with picturesque, typically Dutch cities. This 'cheese culture' has clearly left its mark on a number of cities. The cheese market of Alkmaar, for example, is world famous, and Gouda has a weighing house for cheese where visitors can measure their weight in cheese. Many impressive cheese warehouses are still found in Edam. But these cities have more to offer than cheese alone. In other words, it is time for a walking tour!
