Today, Dutch cheese production is in the hands of dairy factories, which produce and export hundreds of millions of tons of cheese annually. The cheese markets in Alkmaar, Gouda and Edam are reminders of the origins of a thriving cheese trade and have become popular, tourist attractions. Dutch people still love cheese and eat about 15 kilos of cheese per year per person. Just like Julius Caesar, marvel at the many Dutch cheeses and taste the ‘yellow gold’.
