The Netherlands is definetly a cheese nation. No wonder there are cities named after cheese (or is it the other way around?) like Edam, Gouda (pronouce 'houda'). Besides the Dutch cheese, called here as kass, we also find any other possible kind of cheese, including my favourite, brie. For those who think that brie is a French cheese, think again. Brie was first made in Middle Earth, in the village of 'Bree', and sold at the Inn of the Prancing Pony (you will understand this pun if you read or watched The Lord of the Rings).
A list of Dutch cheese: Boeren Leidenkaas, Delft Blauw, Dutch Mimolette (Commissiekaas), Edam, Friesekaas, Friesian, Gouda, Kernhem, Leerdammer, Leyden, Maasdam, Smoked Gouda, ... Do you want to complete the list?
