Dutch Cheese Markets - Woerden

Woerden

This commercial cheese market features farmers' cheeses with little of the spectacle or pageantry of the other markets. For more than 100 years, every Wednesday morning starting around 9:00 am, there is an active trade between the cheese farmers and the marktmeester (market foreman), where prices are determined for the different types of cheeses. The cheeses for sale are boerenkazen (farmers' cheeses) which are considered by cheese aficionados to be more authentic and have a much better taste than factory-made cheese.
