If you are a cheese lover who happens to be in Netherlands then visiting the Amsterdam Cheese Museum in the capital is a must.
Did you know that Gouda, Edam, Leerdammer, Leyden, Maaslander, and Maasdam aren’t only cheese names but also names of cities where these chesses were first manufactured? There is more information to digest while wandering in the museum.
