We enjoyed the self guided experience at the Edam Cheese Museum. Learned lots of history of the area and cheese making. We were able to trying so many cheeses after the tour. Of course we bought some but no pressure from them.
It is a very nice experience, not actually human interaction you can listen to the experience through headphones, but the village it’s a must see
Museum of cheese explains very clearly how Edam cheese is made. An experience not to miss. In the shop you can taste all different cheeses. Wonderful!
Edam is a very small town not too far from Amsterdam. The cheese market is very nice and only takes place in summer. The cheeses that can be purchased in this shop are excellent.
A nice enough introduction to making Edam cheese and the history on the town, but audio only and really not that much there for 8 euros. Much is promotion for the store next door.
The explanations about the history of the Welligs is very fast, the cheese making, lasts 30 seconds, in short all in 5 minutes and goes to the shop. Besides, if we comment, we get put in its place without half measure. It's a shame that commerce goes above history!
Brilliant and informative, lots of tastings in the shop. It's a fascinating place to visit. Easy to access and the town has great little shops and cafes
Very informative and well presented. Great audio experience. Worth an hour of your time if you love cheese!
This small museum has a lot of information about Edam cheese and the town Edam as well. Complete with fun interactions and sample tasting at the end. Lovely little museum and the staff were very friendly and accommodating.
