Henri Willig, a cheese dairy in the region, has set up in a house in the centre, on the Spui, a visit that answers what everyone wonders about Edam cheese: why it is round, why it became famous across half the world and how it is made today. It is a good half-hour interactive exhibition, designed so that children can follow it too.
Price and tasting
It costs €8 from age 12 and €4 for ages 6 to 12; under-6s enter free with an adult, and there is a €17.50 family ticket for two adults and up to four children. Buy it on its website with a time slot or at the door. At the end, in the shop, you can taste more than fifteen cheeses, and the ticket gives a 10% discount on what you buy.
