The highly anticipated Gouda Cheese Experience has now opened its doors, offering an interactive dive into the story behind the world's most famous Gouda cheese. It's a compelling new reason to explore the historic city of Gouda. Originally set for March 23, the launch was postponed to June 1 due to the coronavirus pandemic.
What is the Gouda Cheese Experience?
This engaging attraction blends discovery, fun, and education. Virtual mascot Ralfie guides you on an interactive journey to become a true Gouda cheese master, tracing the process from milk to mouthwatering cheese using a recipe unchanged for 800 years. Explore discovery walls, a 360-degree film, virtual milking, and in-depth insights into cheese history, production, trade, and the cow's vital role. Indulge in authentic Gouda tastings at the on-site restaurant.
Ralfie draws inspiration from Gouwenaar Ralph Toll, the visionary behind the project who passed away in 2017. The experience was created by the same expert team responsible for Amsterdam's Heineken Experience.
Open seven days a week with COVID-adjusted visitor limits and hours. Expect a 1- to 1.5-hour visit. Visit www.goudacheese-experience.com for details and reservations.
