Private Cheese Tasting

Elevate your experience at De Durgedam with a private cheese tasting and enjoy a selection of the finest Dutch cheeses from Fromagerie Kef paired with a selection wine from Restaurant De Mark.

Founded in 1953, Abraham Kef was the pioneer in bringing French cheeses to the Netherlands and now specializes in French and Dutch cheeses with a range mainly consisting of raw milk cheeses from small producers. Kef is a household name among gourmets and their cheeses are served in a wide range of well-known restaurants in and around Amsterdam.

What will you taste?

During the tasting, an experienced cheese monger from Kef will tell you in detail about flavors, Dutch cheesemaking tradition and about the many great makers with whom they work. From cheese farms that can only be reached by a rowing boat to a cheesemaker that started at thirteen years of age. Get acquainted with new cheeses and special flavor combinations. Discover exactly what your taste is like.

You will be surrounded by vintage labels and the restored walls of our wine cellar at De Durgerdam while Thijs will be serving you fine wines, chosen to perfectly match your cheese tasting.

Enjoy this memory-making occasion, surrounded by loved ones in the most magical of settings
