The Story of Edam Cheese Ticket

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

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

You can take a selfie with the iconic round and orange Edam cheeses, displayed on long shelves along the walls. During your visit, you'll also learn about the best preservation methods for these dairy products to maintain their smell and taste.

The exhibition highlights the legacy of Henri Willig, an entrepreneur from Katwoude. He took over his parents' dairy farm in 1974 and, with his wife, began producing high-quality cheese. Today, one of the prestigious brands of Edam cheese carries his name.

The tour of the museum lasts approximately one hour.
