Alida Hoeve and wooden shoe maker De Vriendschap Volendam

Besides the world famous Edam and Gouda cheeses, Henri Willig also makes delicious sheep and goat cheese. Our employees are happy to advise you on the many preparation options and taste sensations. You can also visit wooden shoe making, a craft that is still being practised and is still highly regarded today.

We recommend that tour operators book their coach visits in advance, but they are very welcome without appointment as well. Private visitors do not have to make a reservation. Admission is free.
