Full description

Discover the delicious cheeses of Henri Willig at a cheese tasting workshop in the heart of Amsterdam and learn about the traditional cheese making process in an authentic cheese factory atmosphere. Multilingual guides will show you a short film to demonstrate the cheese making process, while you enjoy some of the finest cheeses with cheese dips and mustard. Complete your journey into cheese with a glass of wine or specialty beer brewed for Henry Willig. Henri Willig was born and raised in Katwoude, a small village located at the foot of a dyke between lush green meadows; a picture postcard example of exactly what Holland should look like! Henri and his wife Riet took over the farm in 1974 and they have been producing high quality, traditionally prepared cheeses ever since.

We got five types of cheeses, three types of dips, and 2 glasses of alcohol (one for the younger cheeses one for the aged cheeses. For each we got to choose between a beer and a wine). Also learned something new about cheeses + first time trying cheeses with dips and it was surprisingly nice.

Got a delicious selection of 5 cheeses, two big chunks of each accompanied by various mustards and chutneys. Our guide was very informative and very friendly - she was able to host the tasting in both french and English. We got two drinks also (wine, beer or soft) A great experience and the bonus was a discount of any cheese you buy

Wonderful setting upstairs at the store. Our host was very attentive and gave a great presentation about the history of Henri Willig. Answered all our questions and was very knowledgeable. The cheese tasting platter was huge and had a great variety to taste along with dipping sauces. Great combo with the wine and port that was offered. A nice experience to have with others from different countries - 2 Americans, 2 Australians and 2 Belgians.
