For children

The Dutch Cheese Museum has an enjoyable interactive scavenger hunt where you will learn all the ins and outs about cheese. What precisely is the difference between a cheese cart [kaasbrik] and a cheese press [kaaspers]? And why is a rennet pot [stremselpot] also known as a Poepekan …? One thing is certain: by the time you’ve completed this scavenger hunt you will be able to call yourself a true cheese expert.

The scavenger hunt is also available in English.
