Recipient of numerous international awards and accolades, the exclusive Reypenaer Cheese is one of Holland’s hidden treasures. The idea for the Reypenaer Proeflokaal (literally Tasting Rooms) comes from an ancient Amsterdam tradition dating from the 1700’s, where at select venues, merchants were invited to taste newly imported wines, beers and delicacies. In Central Amsterdam, the Reypenaer Cheese Tasting Rooms keeps that tradition very much alive today. Drop by, taste the cheese and learn about the extraordinary story of its production. You can also pick up beautifully packaged gift sets of cheeses to take home. There is a gift set for every price range, and you can taste before you buy.
If you are not in Amsterdam, visit the web shop and buy online.
