The Story of Edam Cheese Ticket

At The Story of Edam Cheese, also known as the Edam Cheese Museum, you'll learn all about the history of one of the most popular products in the Netherlands.

The museum, located at Spui Street in central Edam, is housed in a traditional 17th-century Dutch house. Inside, you'll find numerous screens and interactive elements that explain the origins and evolution of Edam cheese.

You can take a selfie with the iconic round and orange Edam cheeses, which are displayed on long shelves along the walls. During your visit, you'll learn how to preserve these dairy products properly to maintain their smell and taste.

The exhibition also covers the legacy of Henri Willig, an entrepreneur from Katwoude, who took over his parents' dairy farm in 1974. Together with his wife, he began producing high-quality cheese daily. Today, one of the most prestigious Edam cheese brands is named after him.

The tour of the museum lasts approximately one hour.
