We went to a small factory called “Cheese and Clogs” they make cheese and wooden shoes. This small factory in the rural area of  Netherlands was quite interesting.

We began our tour through the cheese area of the factory. A woman explained the process they used to make their cheese. She explained some of the different cheeses and how the process was done.  They even had some large cows on display.

Ray with a couple of cows on display in the Cheese and Cclogs factoryWe then went to a different area of the building and we were met by a clog maker.

He demonstrated the traditional way of making a clog and a was very entertaining while explained the history of the clog.

He kept everyone laughing and enjoying the demonstration. Afterwards, we went to the shop where clogs and cheese were available for purchase.

Shelley couldn’t resist trying on a pair of traditional wooden clogs.

There was also a great selection of cheeses available.

We explored the store and tried several different samples of gouda cheese. They were very tasty and we decided to buy a few different types.

After exploring the store we walked around outside the factory. The outside of the factory was quite impressive, they had wooden carved tulips on display.

We also came across two very large clogs on display outside.

It was an enjoyable time exploring the factory and seeing the making of a clog.
