The Cheese Lover is an Amsterdam-based specialty food experience operator focused on artisanal Dutch cheeses and pairing workshops.
The Cheese Lover curates guided cheese-shopping walks, market tastings and private workshops across central Amsterdam and Noord‑Holland. Participants visit independent cheese shops, Noordermarkt stalls, Troost Brewery and a 300-year-old tavern to taste cheeses not typically found on standard tourist routes.
Each experience combines guided tastings with practical education: cheese-making methods, storage and serving techniques, and tasting tips. Public and private options range from three-hour market walks to four-hour private shopping-and-pairing sessions tailored for small groups. Pairings include craft beer, local Dutch wines and soft-drink alternatives depending on the tour.
The Cheese Lover emphasizes small-group attention, local vendors and authentic locations. Guides lead guests through cheese styles, explain flavor development and demonstrate pairing principles while encouraging questions and hands-on selection at shops and markets. Routes feature Noordermarkt cheese stalls, visits to Troost Brewery for beer pairings, hidden wine shops for Dutch wine tastings, and a historic tavern setting for curated flights.
Reservations are available for public midweek and weekend departures as well as fully private bookings for special occasions, corporate outings and intimate groups. The Cheese Lover maintains transparent trip descriptions, clear duration estimates and explicit pairing options so guests know what to expect. For visitors seeking an educational and flavorful exploration of Dutch cheese culture, The Cheese Lover offers structured, credible and locally rooted experiences in Amsterdam.
Bookings are updated regularly and confirmations provided.
