From farm to beer glass
During your visit to this modern cheese museum in Gouda, you will literally step into the world of cheese. You will learn how centuries-old traditions meet contemporary innovation. From virtually milking cows to pressing curds yourself, each part of the process is brought to life in an interactive way.But perhaps the best part is that you will discover how versatile Gouda cheese is. Its creamy, nutty flavour goes perfectly with a wide range of dishes and drinks. While wine often gets the spotlight, beer turns out to be a surprisingly good match. Think a crisp white beer with young cheese or a robust stout alongside a spicy old Gouda.
