The Netherlands is known for cheese and clogs. But do you know they are made?
The most famous Dutch cheese is Gouda cheese, originally from the city of Gouda. But today Gouda-style cheese produced all over the country. Depending on how long you let the cheese ripen, the stronger the taste.
The Dutch eat 17 kilos (37.5 pounds) of cheese per person per year. That is quite a lot, and the nickname for Dutch people is “Kaaskop” (Cheese head). But please do not use this name if you want to make Dutch friends…
Clogs are wooden shoes mainly (but not only!) worn by farmers. When they are out in the meadows and polders, the land is wet, muddy, and soggy. Clogs prevent your feet from getting wet, and if a cow accidentally steps on your foot, it does not hurt too much.
You can do a lot of other stuff with clogs too: put flowers in them and hang them on your wall, use them to put keys, pens, scissors, etc in (all the things you can never find), build a little sail and make a boat out of the clog for in your bath tub.
TODAY: Happy Farmer Roel will tell you about his farm, where he makes cheese with the milk from his own cows. He makes clogs too, and even paints the artwork on them when they are done. Roel is the 8th generation owner of the farm, and his son (the 9th generation) also works here. The farm is open to the public every day including weekends for (free) tours. Why not stop by when in Amsterdam? It is only a 15 minute bike ride from VU Amsterdam.
