Why Trust Our Cheese Recommendations?

Choosing the perfect cheese can be an adventure. Our team at De Kaaskamer makes it an informed and delightful journey, backed by decades of experience and a genuine love for cheese.

Curated Selection

We don't just stock cheese; we discover it. Our team travels, tastes, and talks to producers to find exceptional cheeses with unique stories. Every cheese we recommend has earned its place through quality, flavour, and craftsmanship. We focus on provenance, ensuring each piece reflects the place and people who made it.

Expert Knowledge

Our cheesemongers are more than just staff; they are enthusiasts and educators. With deep knowledge of cheese history, production methods, pairing suggestions, and optimal storage, they are dedicated to helping you navigate the diverse world of cheese. Ask us anything – we're passionate about sharing our expertise.

Artisanal Focus

We have a profound respect for the traditional art of cheese making. We prioritize working with small-scale, independent producers who uphold time-honoured techniques and use high-quality ingredients. This commitment ensures the cheeses we offer are not only delicious but also embody a rich cultural heritage and sustainable practices.

About De Kaaskamer

Nestled in the picturesque Nine Streets (Negen Straatjes) district, on the charming Runstraat, De Kaaskamer has been a beloved institution for cheese aficionados in Amsterdam for over three decades. Established by passionate cheese lovers, our shop quickly became known for its exceptional selection and warm, inviting atmosphere. We believe that cheese is more than just food; it's a story of tradition, terroir, and dedication.

Our journey began with a simple goal: to source and share the finest cheeses from the Netherlands and beyond. Over the years, we've cultivated relationships with dozens of small, independent cheesemakers, from remote Dutch farms producing traditional Gouda to artisan affineurs aging cheeses in cellars across France, Italy, Spain, and other renowned cheese-making regions. This network allows us to offer a constantly evolving selection that celebrates the diversity and complexity of the cheese world.

Stepping into De Kaaskamer is an experience for the senses. The rich aroma of ripening cheese fills the air, and our counters are laden with wheels, wedges, and logs of every shape, size, and texture imaginable. Our dedicated team, true cheesemongers at heart, are always on hand to guide you, offering tastes, suggesting pairings, and sharing the fascinating stories behind each cheese. We love introducing customers to new favourites and helping them rediscover classic varieties.

While our physical shop remains a cornerstone of the Amsterdam food scene, our partnership with Curated Delights is an exciting new chapter. It allows us to package the essence of the De Kaaskamer experience – our curated selection, our expert knowledge, and our passion for quality – and make it accessible no matter where you are. We are proud of our heritage and look forward to sharing our love for cheese with you, both in our shop and through our trusted online partner.

De Kaaskamer's Recommended Cheeses (Shop via Curated Delights)

Our cheesemongers have hand-picked a selection of their current favourites available for purchase through our trusted partner Curated Delights. Discover some highlights from our diverse collection.

Aged Gouda

A quintessential Dutch masterpiece, aged for 24 months or more. This Gouda develops deep, caramel-like sweetness, a firm texture scattered with delightful protein crystals, and a rich, nutty finish. Perfect for snacking, grating over dishes, or pairing with a dark beer or full-bodied red wine.

Shop Aged Gouda

French Brie de Meaux

Often called the "King of Cheeses," this classic French raw cow's milk Brie is a delight. With a bloomy white rind and a lusciously creamy, flowing interior when ripe, it offers earthy, mushroomy notes with a subtle sweetness. Enjoy at room temperature spread on fresh baguette, perhaps with a glass of Champagne or light-bodied white wine.

Shop Brie de Meaux

Spanish Manchego

Hailing from the La Mancha region of Spain, this sheep's milk cheese boasts a distinctive herringbone rind pattern. Its flavour profile is balanced: firm yet slightly crumbly texture, buttery richness, a subtle tang, and a hint of nutty sweetness. A versatile cheese, it pairs wonderfully with quince paste (Membrillo) and is excellent on its own or as part of a cheese board.

Shop Manchego

French Roquefort

A world-famous blue cheese made from sheep's milk in the south of France. Roquefort is intensely flavourful, with sharp, tangy blue veins contrasting with a creamy, sometimes crumbly, white paste. Its complexity makes it superb on a cheese board, crumbled over salads, or paired with sweet wines like Sauternes or a robust Port.

Shop Roquefort

Dutch Geitenkaas (Goat Cheese)

While the Netherlands is famous for cow's milk cheese, our local goat cheese deserves recognition. Fresh varieties are tangy, bright, and creamy, often with herbal coatings. Aged versions develop a firmer texture and more complex, nutty flavour. Versatile in cooking or delicious spread on toast with honey.

Chunk of Parmigiano Reggiano with rustic edge

Italian Parmigiano Reggiano

Known as the "King of Cheeses" in Italy, this hard, dry cheese is aged for a minimum of 12 months, often longer. It has a granular texture, a nutty, salty, slightly sweet flavour, and incredible depth. Essential for pasta, risottos, or simply broken into chunks for snacking. A true taste of Emilia-Romagna.
