The Cheese Markets of the Netherlands by Lee Foster The Cheese Markets of the Netherlands by Lee Foster Few experiences satisfy the person who savors food and drink more than a journey to the source, the place where a favorite wine, cheese, or fruit is produced. The encounter imparts a knowledge of terrain and an appreciation of techniques used to make the prized food or drink. No book can teach this experience; no number of trips to the local delicatessen or bottle shop can equal it. For the appreciator of cheese, Dutch cheese is one of the gustatory glories of the Netherlands. The place to start is a good cheese store in Amsterdam. Beyond Amsterdam, you can visit the cheese markets at Alkmaar and at Gouda. You can also visit a cheese-making farm, Clara Maria, near Amsterdam. Details can be easily arranged by the Netherlands Board of Tourism office, www.holland.com. Cheese Shops in Amsterdam Cheese shops in Amsterdam, such as Abraham Kef’s, 192 Marninxstraat, are the places to make your first encounter with Dutch cheeses. At Kef’s you can make a tasting ceremony of cheese and wine. First, try a slice of Gouda, which is 60 percent of all the cheese produced in the Netherlands. Half of this Gouda is exported, making the Dutch one of the world’s largest exporters of cheese. Ask for a piece of Young Gouda, about three months old, which is imported to the U.S. labeled Young or Mild Gouda. Most Goudas are whole milk cheeses with a fat content of 48 percent. The Young Gouda has a creamy, buttery taste. Using a cheese knife, cut thin slices so the flavor can melt on your tongue. Next, try a slice of Aged Gouda, about six months old, from a typical Gouda cartwheel, which can vary in weight from three to 20 kilograms. Multiply by 2.2 to convert to pounds. In the U.S. the terms Aged, Medium, and Mature on the label indicate Aged Gouda. This cheese exudes a more concentrated nutty taste in a drier texture than the Young Gouda. Finally, the cheese seller may offer you a Very Aged Gouda, which in the U.S. is called Old Gouda, meaning a cheese one year old. This cheese lingers on your palate with an intense taste, almost brown-sugar-in-butter, a liqueur of cheese, like a glass of 20-year-old Bordeaux from a good vintage. The cheese seller may have in stock Gouda that is three or even five years old. Gouda originally meant cheese from the region around the town of Gouda, southwest of Amsterdam. Visit Gouda on a Thursday morning in summer when the age-old cheese market still takes place. The South Holland province is the main producer of this type of cheese, but other geographic areas in the Netherlands also make Gouda. The primary characteristic is the use of whole milk with no fat skimmed off. Edam vs Gouda Cheese Next, proceed to Edam, the other main type of Dutch cheese. In the U.S., Edam tends to mean a waxed 2-4 pound cheese ball with a red coating. Edam cheese balls can vary from 1-6.5 kilograms and have only their natural deep yellow appearance when sold in the Netherlands. Edam is noticeably drier, lighter, and tarter than the Gouda. Edam differs from Gouda because it has a lower fat content, about 40 percent. This tradition started in North Holland when the fat from the night milk of the cows was skimmed off to make butter. The remaining skim milk was mixed with the morning cow milking to develop a cheese with lower fat content and a more intrusive taste. Like Gouda, Edam originally meant a cheese from the Edam area north of Amsterdam, but now means a style of cheese-making that can also be practiced in other parts of the country. Fat content is the defining characteristic. The Edam region is worth a day of exploring. In summer, choose Friday because the town of Alkmaar, near Edam, has a colorful cheese auction. Edam was the port from which this North Holland cheese was exported to the world. Edam cheese can age for a long time without deteriorating. In 1956 an Edam was found at the South Pole, a relic of the ill-fated Scott expedition of 1912. The cheese had become very sharp because of the natural aging process, but had not spoiled by moldering. Sample also other specialty Dutch cheeses. Cumin cheese is a 20-40 percent fat cheese flavored with cumin seeds, which gives the cheese a piquant flavor. As this cheese ages, the seeds draw out whey from the curds, so Cumin cheese has a drier texture than Gouda or Edam. Cumin cheese was so popular around the city of Leiden that today “Leiden cheese” means “Cumin cheese” on a label sent to the U.S. Sometimes, however, you will also find Gouda or Edam with cumin added as a flavor. Clove cheese is another Dutch specialty, although seldom available now. The Frisian people of northeast Netherlands developed this cheese, using cloves as a flavoring, sometimes accompanied by cumin. Since cloves resemble nails, the cheese is labeled as “Nail cheese” or “Nagelkaas.” The Clove cheese has a pronounced spicy taste, so a small slice suffices. Some cheese sellers stock intriguing goat cheeses, especially from Drenthe or from Limburg, which is noted for its pungent cheese. One sheep cheese comes from Texel Island. It takes about 10 units of milk to make one unit of cheese, and cows yield about 6,000 liters of milk per year, compared to a sheep or goat’s 500-800 liters. Another interesting Dutch cheese is a soft, high-fat cheese called Kernhem. The Dutch temperament, which favors established tradition rather than experimentation, originally described this cheese as “hanging on the knife,” which was perceived as an undesirable characteristic. Creamy French cheeses, with their higher fat content, are not widely popular in the Netherlands, where a drier, cutting cheese is synonymous with “cheese.” Gouda Cheese in Cheese Market Aikmaar,Netherlands Because all Dutch cows eat similar, lush vegetation at the same latitude, the taste of Dutch cheese tends to be uniform and predictable for the different types. This contrasts with French cheeses, where the differing grasses and extensive variation in herbs create sharp variations in taste. A small percent of all Dutch cheese is made at specialized, boutique cheese farms. The rest is manufactured in large factories with milk collected from farmers. The process is nearly the same in both situations and the scale of the small farm is more manageable to comprehend, as well as more congenial to visit. There is one important difference in technique, however, which connoisseurs insist is important. The “Farmer cheese” or “Boerenkaas” is made from raw milk and always bears a square label. Cheese factories are required to pasteurize their milk and use a round label. Some argue that the Farm cheese has a livelier, more varied taste because of the bacteria that survive in unpasteurized milk. Cheese Auctions: Gouda vs Alkmaar Markets Beyond Amsterdam, the two interesting summertime cheese auctions (Thursday Gouda, Friday Alkmaar) are only an hour away by train or by rental car. The auctions are both a show for the traveler, inspired by local pride, and an actual auction of cheese in the time-honored manner. Arrive by 10 a.m. to see the action. At Alkmaar there are four Cheese Porter Guilds, each with distinctive colors. The porters carry 80 round Edam cheeses on long wooden sleds by means of slings, with four men to a sled. Professional buyers burrow deep into the cheeses with a small tool and remove a core of cheese for tasting. After tasting and feeling the cheese for texture, they place their bids. At Gouda the cheese auction is exclusively Farmer Cheese, which is brought to town in wooden carts. White-smocked buyers review the cheese and engage in a hand- slapping bidding interchange with the farmer. When the price is established, the cheese is taken to the weigh house. Besides the cheese auctions, both towns are interesting to explore on foot. Alkmaar’s monuments include the St. Lawrence Church and attractive side streets with old houses. At Alkmaar there is also a museum to cheesemaking. Gouda boasts the oldest Town Hall in the country, from 1450, and St. John’s Church, which has some of the finest stained glass windows in Europe. See especially window 25, which recalls the Relief of Leiden, breaking a Spanish siege. This event enabled the Netherlands to become independent from Spain. In the window you’ll see an image of William of Orange, the George Washington of the country. Gouda also nurtures a flourishing craft tradition, especially for pottery, silver, candles, tile, and wool. At either of these towns, or near Amsterdam, you can visit a cheese-making farm. VVV, the Dutch tourism authority, can help with details. VVV Gouda offers a well- organized post-market visit by boat to a cheese farm and then a walking tour of the city in the afternoon. Visiting a Cheese Farm Although most cheese is now made in huge factories, a tradition persists of small family farms making cheese. Clara Maria is one of these cheese farms. The farm is south of Amsterdam and is available for seeing the cheese-making process. The farm also functions as a clog making factory. Booking.com The full effect of a Clara Maria Cheese Farm visit, near Amsterdam, requires that you get up early for a complete tour. The farm is near Bovenkerk, south of the metropolis.

  • Planning the Horticultural Sector Managing Greenhouse Sprawl in the Netherlands
    Planning the Horticultural Sector Managing Greenhouse Sprawl in the Netherlands Korthals Altes, W.K., Van Rij, E. (2013) Planning the horticultural sector: Managing greenhouse sprawl in the Netherlands, Land Use Policy, 31, 486-497 Abstract Greenhouses are a typical example of peri-urban land-use, a phenomenon that many planning systems find difficult to address as it mixes agricultural identity with urban appearance. Despite its urban appearance, greenhouse development often manages to evade urban containment policies. But a ban on greenhouse development might well result in under-utilisation of the economic value of the sector and its potential for sustainability. Specific knowledge of the urban and rural character of greenhouses is essential for the implementation of planning strategies. This paper analyses Dutch planning policies for greenhouses. It concludes with a discussion of how insights from greenhouse planning can be applied in other contexts involving peri-urban areas. Keywords: greenhouses; horticulture; land-use planning; the Netherlands; peri-urban land-use 1 Introduction The important role played by the urban-rural dichotomy in planning practice is a complicating factor in planning strategies for peri-urban areas, often conceptualised as border areas (the rural-urban fringe) or as an intermediate zone between city and countryside (the rural-urban transition zone) (Simon, 2008). However, “[t]he rural-urban fringe has a special, and not simply a transitional, land-use pattern that distinguishes it from more distant countryside and more urbanised space.” (Gallent and Shaw, 2007, 621) Planning policies tend to overlook this specific peri-environment, focusing rather on the black-and-white difference between urban and rural while disregarding developments in the shadow of cities (Hornis and Van Eck, 2008).

  • Use of Iodised Salt in Cheese Manufacturing to Improve Iodine Status in the UK
    Use of iodised salt in cheese manufacturing to improve iodine status in the UK by Suruchi Pradhan A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment for the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Central Lancashire November/2019 1 STUDENT DECLARATION FORM Type of Award Doctor of Philosophy in Nutrition School School of Sports and Health Sciences Sections marked * delete as appropriate 1.

Signature of Candidate ______ ________________________________________________ Print name: Suruchi Pradhan ____________________________________________________________ 2 Abstract Iodine is an essential trace mineral. Iodine deficiency during pregnancy can lead to adverse postnatal consequences such as impaired mental development, reduced intelligence scores and impaired motor skills in the offspring of the deficient women (Khazan et al., 2013, Rayman et al, 2008). There is growing evidence in the UK of low dietary iodine intakes and potential iodine deficiency in vulnerable populations (pregnant women and women of child bearing age group) (Rayman and Bath, 2015, Vanderpump et al., 2011) and a paucity of information on the iodine content of food products. In developing countries where iodine deficiency is widespread, salt has successfully been used as a vehicle for iodine fortification, however iodised salt is not widely available in UK supermarkets and there are valid health concerns about promoting salt intake.

Market Square in Krakow is paradoxically at the same time a typical example of medieval marketplace and a unique site. But the frontline between what is common and what is unique can be seen as “somewhat fuzzy”. Among these examples readers should observe a number of unexpected similarities, as well as sharp contrasts in terms of form, usage and layout of buildings.
