A French friend used to say when you visit the Netherlands you are asked if you want yellow or red cheese! Of course, France having so many different types of cheese, he felt he did not have enough choices there. But he had forgotten that Dutch cheeses were a delicacy during the reing of French King Charlemagne!
I always try to eat local products when I travel. I was in Amsterdam for two days and found delightful cheese shops that cater many different types of the classic Gouda, Edam, Maasdam, Mimolette. Some have cumin, which adds a sharp note; or herbs.
Enjoy!
