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 Dutch house from the 17th century. Inside, you'll find numerous screens and interactive elements that will help you understand the origins and evolution of Edam cheese.

You can take a selfie with the iconic round and orange Edam cheeses, stored on long shelves along the walls. During your visit, you'll learn about the best ways to preserve these dairy products so they maintain their smell and taste.

The exhibition is dedicated to the legacy of Henri Willig, who took over his parents' dairy farm in 1974 in Katwoude, a town just 10 minutes from Edam. Together with his wife, he began to produce high-quality cheese. Today, one of the most prestigious brands of Edam cheese is named after him.

The tour of the museum lasts approximately one hour.
