Kaashandel van der Ley

Groningen


In business since 1934, this cheesemonger sells the finest cheese from the Netherlands – more than 300 types – and around the world. Look for local organic varieties and some of the rare aged numbers that the Dutch never export. Deli items and a large array of olives ensure a perfect picnic.

Local cheeses to taste include Groningse buffelmozzarella, Groningse ricotta and some fabulous boerenkaas ('farmer cheese') made with unpasteurised milk in small quantities on surrounding farms.
