5x the best Amsterdam addresses for the cheese board at home

It's great fun, all that traveling, but sometimes we would just as soon be at home (or in a house somewhere in the woods, or something). Here for example). Anyway, you get the point: we're staying inside. Immediately game or something and with something for the tasty. Cheese and red wine, you get it. After all, it is time for it. Here are the best places to shop for the necessary supplies: 5x the best Amsterdam addresses for the cheese board at home.

Fromagerie Abraham Kef (center + east + north)

Fromagerie Abraham Kef (center + east + north)

Obviously number 1: Fromagerie Abraham Kef, nowadays found in Amsterdam center, east and north. Why 'obviously'? Because Kef (we can say Kef) only employs the sweetest ladies and gentlemen who patiently let you taste the world and who also seriously consider your wishes. In addition, there is of course the huge selection of French cheeses. And who can make cheese better than the French, right? If you would rather not suffer yourself but would like to have a cheese board selected by Kef in front of you, you can go to their tasting room in Amsterdam North. Big tip! With matching wines, and we are certainly not averse to that.

Bart's favorite cheese from Kef: Jean Phillip and Twentse Hooikaas. You must have both of these. Black!

Fromagerie L'amuse (west)

Fromagerie L'amuse (west)

Oops: there are more than 400 cheeses available at L'amuse in Amsterdam West. And that makes you greedy.
In addition, it is certainly a big party at L'Amuse because this cheese topper has been around for exactly 30 years this year (2019). That means partying, and they celebrate with all kinds of fun activities. Like a tasting of whiskey with cheeses. Once again because different! Also for experimenting at home, of course. Interesting!
Bart's favorite cheese: “the hard blue”

The Cheese Room (center)

The Cheese Room (center)

Another truly delicious cheese specialist: De Kaaskamer in the heart of Amsterdam, in the always pleasant 9 Streets. So central, you would almost think it couldn't be good (because tourists and cheese and all that...). WRONG! The Cheese Room is a goalkeeper. The surroundings, the atmosphere, the coziness and of course the expertise of the men and women who know their stuff.
Bart's favorite cheese: Oudwijker Fiore (a fine red flora)

Erics (east)

Erics (east)

Step foot inside Eriks in Amsterdam East and you will feel like you are in a large candy store. Cheese candy shop. In addition to cheese, many other goodies such as wines (for every budget!) and fresh croissants (from 8am, so good).
Anyway, we were talking about cheese here: the cheeses at Eriks come largely from the Netherlands, supplemented with a small selection of foreign cheeses. They are good and divine, all of them. Doubt? The staff will help you with love. Fun fact: Eriks has been around for 100 years! They celebrated this this year with a special children's book about, yes, cheese.
Barts favorite cheese: the manchego (divine!)

Burgundian lifestyle (center)

Burgundian lifestyle (center)

The last cheese winner in the list can be found in the oh-so-nice Haarlemmerstraat. Vision of Burgundian Lifestyle? Get as many cheeses as possible directly from the farmer. As local as possible. The team also ripens a number of cheeses itself.
Bart's favorite cheese; go for the Gouda farmer's truffle!
