The Cheese Market Edam
Whoever says Laag Holland, says cows. And whoever says cows, says cheese. This has been the case for centuries and so many cheese markets have sprung up in this region over the years. Three of them have been preserved and can therefore be visited!
One of the preserved cheese markets is Edam's cheese market and it is definitely worth a visit! In July and August, the Edam cheese markets take place on Wednesday mornings (except on 29 August). During the cheese market, volunteers re-enact the former trade and cheeses are brought in by wagons and boats. Did you know that one of the most popular Dutch cheeses - Edammer - owes its name to this town?
