Cheese Factory Volendam

Volendam is a village of fishermen, music and cheese. The Cheese Factory is one of the newest attractions in the centre of Volendam. Despite the name, it’s much more than a factory – it is an interactive experience that will introduce you to the wonders of Dutch cheese.

Discover a world of cheese

Spread over an area of 400 m2, the Cheese Factory brings the history of the Netherlands’ best-loved dairy product to life. Find out where cheese comes from, how it was first made and how it is produced today. Come see, hear, smell and of course taste Dutch cheese. You’ll be sure to learn some fun and interesting new facts along the way.  

Demonstrations

Throughout the day demonstrations are given in Dutch, English, Spanish, French, German and Italian. These demonstrations are open to groups as well as individual visitors. There are a variety of (specialty) cheeses available for purchase, as well as unique cheese-related accessories.
