The diversity available is truly remarkable, encompassing a vast array of types and flavours to suit every palate. For those looking to explore this rich tradition, the Cheese & More by Henri Willig shops offer an excellent opportunity to do so. My experience at their branch located near the Flower Market in Amsterdam was particularly noteworthy.

Upon entering the Cheese & More shop, one is immediately struck by the extensive selection of cheeses on display. The variety can be quite considerable, presenting a delightful challenge in deciding which to choose. However, this is where the exceptional service truly enhances the experience. The staff at the Flower Market branch were remarkably friendly and possessed a deep knowledge of their products. They were genuinely helpful, providing detailed explanations about the different types of cheeses, offering insights into how best to enjoy them, and suggesting ideal pairings, perhaps with wine, bread, or fruit. Their willingness to guide and inform significantly enriches the tasting and purchasing process.

The location of this particular branch, adjacent to the vibrant Flower Market, adds another layer of appeal. It allows visitors to combine the visual pleasure of exploring the colourful market stalls with the culinary delight of sampling and selecting Dutch cheeses. It is highly recommended to take the opportunity to browse the market and then step into Cheese & More to taste and choose from their wide array. Given the sheer number of cheese varieties available, do not hesitate to ask the staff for recommendations; their expert advice is invaluable in navigating the selection and finding cheeses that match your...

Loved it. Great little place to go and enjoy the busyness of Amsterdam. Advice is not to buy the first thing you see because as you go further in the prices drop so do some shopping around before buying. Be careful with buying bulbs too as they probably wont make the long distance haul if you are...
