Dutch cheese farmers traditionally took their cheeses to the town's market square to sell them. Teams (vemen) of official guild cheese-porters (kaasdragers), identified by differently colored straw hats associated with their forwarding company, carried the farmers' cheese on barrows that weighed about 160 kilograms. Buyers sampled the cheeses and negotiated prices using a ritual system, called handjeklap, whereby buyers and sellers clapped each other's hands and shouted out prices. Once a price was agreed, porters carried the cheese to the weighing house (Waag) and weighed the cheese on a company scale. Later, enjoy a walking tour of this charming village. Continue on to the quaint village of Enkhuizen and explore the ★Zuiderzee Museum, devoted to preserving the cultural heritage and maritime history from the old Zuiderzee region. The museum village (open-air) was set up to mimic the architecture and atmosphere of villages around the former Zuiderzee. Most of the buildings are authentic—sometimes even transported in whole in a steel frame. A large variety of buildings are on display in the outdoor museum: windmill, lime kilns, fish-smoking house, steam laundry, drugstore, pharmacy, basket maker, blacksmith, cheese warehouse, school, and hairdresser's, amongst others. The harbor is a replica of its layout on Marken before enlargement there. Some aspects of local Zuiderzee history are also on display with typical old Dutch activities, like old games, building clog boats, and demonstrations of ancient crafts such as rope-making, cooperage, basket making and herring smoking. The indoor museum consists of a string of 17th century buildings and displays boats from the region’s rich fishing industry and artifacts from the cultural past, including paintings, furniture and traditional locally worn costumes ('klederdracht'). 2020 Tulips & Castles Page 3 of 9 ❺ 4/18 (SAT) Zwolle ➔ Noordoostpolder ➔ Giethoorn ➔ Zwolle Included Meals Hotel Breakfast.

  • Cycletours Holland
    Top of Amsterdam Group tour 2017 Guide cycles with group |270 - 350 km | 8 days / 7 nights Not until the 17th Century large parts of the area north of Amsterdam were recovered from the sea reclaimed through the use of hundreds of windmills. It’s here that you will find the typical Dutch landscape of polders, mills, harbours, & tulips. The route brings you over small dykes and country roads. Many of the windmills are still in working order. You can get a feel for the old Dutch atmosphere in Enkhuizen, Hoorn, Edam and Volendam: traditional costumes, sailing ships & long johns on the clotheslines. On day 4 you’ll sail to Texel, an island with thousands of sheep and a magnificent nature reserve. Back on the mainland the route brings you to Holland’s most beautiful dune area. These are also the only kilometers you will be cycling above sea level! Alkmaar will also provide a good picture of ancient times. It is the capital of Dutch cheese with its own cheese market and weigh-house for cheese. In Zaanse Schans, a lovely little hamlet on the banks of the river Zaan, the mills, houses, shops and traditional Dutch crafts bring the past to life.

Because even beyond our important role to play in the history of fragrance, Britain is once again becoming a fragrant force to be reckoned with. At the Perfume Society HQ, barely a week goes by without news reaching us of art projects, collaborations and entire new fragrance brands that are completely (and in some cases, literally) home-grown. So we couldn’t be more proud to dedicate an entire edition to all the fragrant excitement on our doorstep. We start with a fascinating timeline of British perfume houses. On p.11-26, Suzy Nightingale shares the story of many of the famous names which illuminate our scented history, from Floris (founded in 1730 and still going strong on Jermyn Street, in London’s St. James’s), right up to today, with perfume houses like Floral Street, Ormonde Jayne and Shay & Blue flying the flag for home-grown scent creativity on the world stage. Meanwhile, down in Dorset’s Tarrant Valley, one new British perfume house is daring to make scents that take us from field to flacon. We’ve all heard about field-to-fork, in food circles; today, Parterre are doing that with fragrance.
