There are plenty of cheese shops in Rotterdam. Which is probably no surprise to you, as we Dutchies love cheese! On our bread, over our pasta, melted as a fondue, as a snack – in all shapes, sizes, colors and scents.
An evening drink is therefore not possible without a cheese platter, with, for example, a piece of brie, Manchego, creamy goat cheese or Camembert. Simply delicious. But of course we want those cheeses to be of the best quality. That’s why we go to the cheese shop. They not only have a wide range of options, the people working there can also help you select whichever cheese you like most.
Read below which cheese shops in Rotterdam you should visit for a good slice of cheese. Enjoy!
1. De Kaashoeve
This cheese shop in the center of Rotterdam can’t be missed, as there is a life-size statue of a cow in front of the door! Furthermore, the store looks like you would expect a cheese store to look like. It is therefore the perfect place for good artisan cheese, selected for taste, quality and originality. And luckily they don’t mind it at all if you taste it first.
This nice cheese shop on the Oude Binnenweg in Rotterdam can give you good advice on which cheeses go with which wines, fruits or bread and they regularly offer new cheeses. Ideal for cheese lovers who like to try new things!
