Old Amsterdam has two cheese shops in Amsterdam. The largest store is located at Dam Square and the smaller location is located at the Flower Market. The beautiful stores sell Old Amsterdam cheese which is a mature Gouda that is very smooth, creamy, and sliceable. Old Amsterdam is offered in wheels, wedges, sliced, cubed, or crème. They also sell Dutch cheeses such as Edam, Zikko Goat, and Ruscello which is a young Gouda in delicious flavors such as green pesto, red pesto with sundried tomatoes, and chili. The store is very generous with tastings and you can try before you buy. There is a cheese-​tasting room for a one-​hour tasting which you can book on-​line or by visiting the store.

Ducked into here on a rainy night on the way to our canal tour to taste some cheeses and pick some up to take home. They get mad props for shrink wrapping your cheese if it’s just in it’s wax and not packaged, just let them know you’re planning on traveling overseas with it and they’ll take care of it. The staff was friendly but not overtly so. I wished there were more samples out to taste some of the other flavors carried in the back of the store. Something tells me this place is more expensive than the cheese shops closer to our apartment in De Pijp and not in city center close to the tourist shops but I’m ok with that. It was a nice shelter from the weather for awhile.

Walked in the shop, and I wanted everything. The front was filled with different ages of old Amsterdam Gouda, and the back had different flavors of Gouda cheese.
The guy helping us was extremely helpful and nice, he gave us all the samples we wanted and recommended so much to us.
My favorite was the green pesto, followed by the bears garlic and chili. The cheese guy did mention that Asians seemed to love smoked Gouda, and he was right. When he gave it to a European girl to try it, she hated it. It was super funny.
The cheeses were extremely soft and is of a different standard from American cheese. You can’t compare. The flavors and the way the cheeses are made and aged… Mmmm. I already miss this place.
Prices were reasonable– they had a 3 for 23 deal for the 8 weeks flavored cheese and a 3 for 20 deal for the 4 weeks flavored cheese. Yum!

Amazing cheeses, good prices. Wanted to buy everything but settled for a few to take back home. The gentleman who helped us, Edward, was very helpful and gave great recommendations. Definitely must stop here to buy cheese. Prices are very reasonable and the more you buy, the more discount you get :-)
