Dutch cheese markets : ウィキペディア英語版 | Dutch cheese markets There are five cheese markets operating in the Netherlands. Woerden is a modern working commercial cheese market. Four, Alkmaar, Gouda, Edam and Hoorn, are like traditional merchant cheese markets as operated in the post-medieval period, re-enacted during the summer months for tourists. The shows are today surrounded by stalls selling all things traditional to the Dutch culture, including cheese. Dutch cheese farmers traditionally brought their cheeses to the market square in town to sell. Teams (''vemen'') of official guild cheese-porters (''kaasdragers''), identified by differently coloured straw hats associated with their ''forwarding company'', carried the farmers' cheese on barrows, which typically weighed about 160 kilograms. Buyers then sampled the cheeses and negotiated a price using a ritual system called ''handjeklap'' in which buyers and sellers clap each other's hands and shout prices.〔( Alkmaar cheese market - Cheese Bargaining ). ''kaasmarkt.nl''; VVV, NL.〕 Once a price is agreed, the porters carry the cheese to the weighing house (''Waag''), and scale of their company.〔( Edam cheese market ). Netherlands Board of Tourism and Conventions (list of open markets is out of date).〕 ==Alkmaar== This large 400-year-old cheese market located on the Waagplein ("weighing square") now opens every Friday morning between 10 am and 12:30 pm from the first Friday in April until the first Friday in September. From opening ceremonies to final load, market activities are explained in Dutch, German, English and sometimes Japanese.〔(Alkmaar Cheese Market schedule ).
