The small fishermen's village of Volendam is home to the Cheese Factory -
despite its name the Cheese Factory encompasses everything from
a museum to a shop. Visitors are given a short but insightful presentation
on the tradition and process of cheese-making in the Netherlands,
detailing factors such as the development of holes in Dutch cheese and
the variety in flavour between the different types of cheese. The Factory
offers visitors the chance to taste different cheeses of which it is then
possible to buy in the shop, along with cheese accessories. The Cheese
Factory is certainly a place to visit for those who have a strong passion for
all things cheese related.
