Dutch Cheese Markets are a significant part of the Dutch cultural heritage and economy. They are traditional venues where cheese is traded in the same manner as it was in the 17th century. The most famous Dutch Cheese Markets are located in Alkmaar, Gouda, Edam, and Woerden.

History

The Dutch Cheese Markets have a rich history dating back to the Middle Ages. They were established as a central place for farmers to sell their cheese. The markets were regulated by the guild system, which ensured fair trade and quality of the cheese. The cheese was weighed, tasted, and priced before it was sold.

Functioning

The Dutch Cheese Markets function in a unique way. The cheese is brought to the market by farmers and cheese carriers, who wear traditional costumes and use wooden barrows to transport the cheese. The cheese is then inspected by the cheese master, who checks the quality of the cheese by knocking on it with a special tool called a cheese taster. The cheese is then weighed in the weigh house and sold in an auction where buyers bid on the cheese.

Cheese Types

The Dutch Cheese Markets are known for their variety of Dutch cheeses. The most popular types include Gouda, Edam, Maasdam, and Leerdammer. These cheeses are known for their distinct taste and texture, which is a result of the traditional Dutch cheese-making process.

Tourism

The Dutch Cheese Markets are a popular tourist attraction. They offer a unique insight into Dutch culture and tradition. Visitors can witness the traditional cheese trading process, taste different types of Dutch cheese, and learn about the history of the Dutch Cheese Markets.
