Organic deliciousness at an Amsterdam market

by jul on March 10th, 2008

IMG 9326Mmmmmm… cheese. I love it. Check out any food market in Europe and you’re likely to discover dozens of varieties you’ve never tried before.

This was definitely true for me on my first trip to Amsterdam’s famous Noordermarkt. This organic farmer’s market is located in the Jordaan quarter of Amsterdam and takes place rain or shine every Saturday. The friendly vendors were happy to give me a taste of various cheeses to help me choose which ones to buy.

Even if your accommodations don’t include a kitchen, the Noordermarkt organic market is definitely worth a visit for foodies visiting Amsterdam. The experience is lively and gives a great peek into a part of daily life in the Dutch capital. And if you just can’t resist picking something up, it’s easy to assemble a picnic from the markets offerings of bread, cheese, fresh produce, and specialty items such as olives. No cooking required!
