Transporting Round Edam Cheeses at Alkmaar, Netherlands: A Glimpse into the Past This evocative photograph captures the essence of traditional cheese trading in Alkmaar, a historic municipality and city located in the province of North Holland, Netherlands. Established in the early 14th century, Alkmaar is renowned for its vibrant cheese market, which has been in operation for over seven centuries. In this image, taken circa 1910s, we see a team of dedicated carriers transporting round Edam cheeses through the bustling market. Dressed in their traditional attire, complete with braces, white shirts, and trousers, these men embody the rich history and heritage of Alkmaar's cheese trade. The cheeses, wrapped in wax coverings, are carefully balanced on a sled, which is then weighed on large, wooden scales. This meticulous process ensured that both the merchants and farmers received a fair price for their produce. The mound of Edam cheeses in the background attests to the market's significance as a hub for dairy production and trade. The atmosphere at Alkmaar's cheese market was a lively and communal affair, with locals and visitors alike coming together to celebrate this cherished tradition. The market's unique charm and authenticity have made it a must-visit destination for tourists from around the world.
