Have been purchasing specific gouda already few times in the past 3years. Each of the order had some issues, either lower weight or pack. Recently, have purchased online same cheese (black label) as a whole 4kg ring. The taste wasn't the same, it was more fresh, not aged enought and less picant, without crounchy salt, so not marching the describtion on the online shop.
After placing comlain, I wss receiving response after reminders. Was willing to send back the cheeses (bought 3 rings) but decided to keep it for a discount on the next orders - no response received.
Concluding: difficult contact, response after reminders. Unfortunately a bit dissapointed.

I enjoyed and loved the experience of tasting the famous Dutch Gouda cheese, all the flavors were incredibly delicious! I bought it for all the members of my family in my country to enjoy this experience with me.
First order was Ok. Second order with mistake - wrong cheese delivered for one item. Created new order just to get cheese I wanted, and guess what - AGAIN this kind of cheese was replaced by some other. It was very hard to get in contact both times. Also they tried to convince me that it was just wrong label on cheese. But I can distinguish 100 days old cheese from 18 months old. So, tip for owner: Thinking that others are stupid is not smart at all...
We went on Thursday morning during the market and made it a morning trip on the train from Delft. We wanted to see the Gouda Cheese Market and it was fun and added drama with the colorful characters.
There is bench seating around the cheese exchange. You might need to encourage people to scootch over. We tasted some cheese and had fun time.
It's important to get there early, we arrived at 930 and could look around but if you are to understand the cheese marketing process with the negotiations, inspections, and farmers ... you need to be there at the beginning when they explain.

Nice shop with large variety of cheese and friendly personnel.
Tons of varieties of cheese. You can actually taste it before you purchase. I like the pesto and tomato cheese. Owner is very friendly. It is right middle of the Gouda centre.
Lovely cheese shop on the edge of the market with free tasters around the shop for various local cheeses. Lots and lots of cheeses on display. Worth a visit but small shop which was busy.
The shop is much larger than it seems from the outside. Amazing variety of cheeses and generous possibility of trying each of them. Small cubes of cheese in front of every cheese so you can really find what 5 years old gauda or cheese with red pesto - taste like before you buy it and bring home. I would like to recommend this policy to other cheese shops, as although it must carry some costs to the store it also makes the tourist/buyer well appreciated and not pushed to make quick purchase and scatter off.
We had great memory of this place and bag full of cheeses - they tasted sooo delicious so we could not resist ...
