I visited Amsterdam several times in the late ’90s. I found this shop accidentally, and went back each trip thereafter. For two or three years Loek, who worked there, would ship cheese to me in the US to keep me going inbetween my trips. I understand the shipping cost became prohibitive, though, from Kaaskamer’s viewoint so they curtailed shipments at some point. I hope it’s temporary change in policy though.

I want to know if this is the most economical place to buy cheese. Is it or would the markets be cheaper?

I’m glad I found your blog. I’m going to Amsterdam on Sunday and I’m really looking forward to buying some cheese!

Was there in May – it is one of the most wonderful places on earth. Do you know if they have an online site?

i just came back from amsterdam. i was lucky to step into that cheese store on my last day there. brougt 2 pieces old dutch cheese (2 year and 3 year old). best i’ve ever had.
highly recommended.
btw, the price is much less expensive than those stors in tourist areas. and the quality is way better.

I love this store! I used to go when I was based in Amsterdam…super knowledgeable staff…I used to go and just tell them things like “I feel like having something creamy and not too sharp…” and they would suggest some great gem…Aaargh! I miss this store :(

Very interesting posts on Amsterdam. I haven’t seen anything on the “coffeshops” though. Did you guys not go to any of them or can’t you guys remember? :-) Kidding! Will definitely check out what you posted when Mitch and I go.

My mouth is watering. I can’t help it. I love cheese so much especially the white cheese. The best that I only tried is the one in Philadelphia. Thanks for sharing your yummy look cheesy picture MM.

Mila, if they had this at Schipol I would be handcarrying 20 kilos home in a flash! Fried neurons, you have read my wife’s mind…she is the cheese expert in our home and she lived in France for graduate school so you can imagine what grief I get for not appreciating all of those superb french cheeses.
