Top 10 Dutch Cheeses to Try in 2026

Dutch cheesemaking ranges from deep caramel-coloured aged Gouda, prized for its crystalline crunch and butterscotch flavour, to Edam's mild, red-waxed sphere that travels the world. Regional specialities add character: Leyden is spiced with cumin, Beemster is made with pasture-fed milk from the UNESCO-listed Beemster Polder, and Old Amsterdam carries a sharp bite under its black wax rind. The list also covers Maasdam, the Dutch answer to Swiss Emmental, alongside farmhouse Boerenkaas and modern additions like truffle-infused Gouda.
