Zaanse Schans, Volendam, and Marken Day Trip
Cheese Tasting in Volendam
Dutch Gouda Cheese
Demonstrations, answers to your questions, and cheese tastings, what more could you ask for? Be sure to try their famous 30+ year aged cheese*
To my fellow self-proclaimed cheese experts:
The next time you hear someone pronounce this cheese as “g-OOO-dah, go ahead and let them know it is actually pronounced: “(g)h-OW-da” in Holland. You’re welcome.
Clogs
Made 100% out of wood, clogs allowed the Dutch to wear protective shoes at an affordable price. While monetarily affordable, keep in mind- by hand, these clogs took precious TIME to make. Visit the factory below to witness how to create a pair of clogs out of a wooden block in just a few minutes. This reduction in production time is made possible through the use of the innovative, 100+ year old steam engine.
