Cheese and Clogs

If you want truly authentic Netherlands cheese this is the place to get it! We attended an excellent demonstration of cheese making. Yes, the cheese you buy here is made right here! You can try a variety of cheeses with a small glass of brandy to refresh the palate between tastings. We decided on the large "Old Gouda" (€15) and we are very happy that we did so! The famous wooden clogs are also made here as well. Be sure to ask about the excellent demonstration of how the clogs are made given by one of the very few clog makers left in the Netherlands.

    Day trip
    A little side excursion from Amsterdam. Cheesemaking and clog demonstration. Nice break in the action and tasty samples of Gouda cheese.

    Definitely stop at Irene Hoeve Cheese and Clogs
    If you find yourself in Katwoude, Holland (The Netherlands) then do stop at a cheese farm. I suggest Irene Hoeve since they make both cheese and wooden shoes in one location. You'll get an explanation of how the Edam cheese is made, then how wooden shoes are made, and then you can browse their gift store where there is a HUGE spread of all the cheeses for you to sample as much as you wish. It is well worth a stop here. The cheeses are... well, there's no word to describe their heavenly taste. And I have forewarn you... I bought some cheese, but not much. Now I am home and am frantic that I cannot find it online to buy. So... buy a lot if you like it. It may be your one and only opportunity to get it!
