mafig Posted November 18, 2023 #1 Share Posted November 18, 2023 Anyone know a good place to purchase a wheel of gouda cheese. Several years ago we did this, we got it at a supermarket that we reached by bus. My husband has an adversion to taxis, unfortunately. Any help would be appreciated.

Rare crewsweeper Posted November 18, 2023 #2 Share Posted November 18, 2023 The supermarkets are your best bet. Can't remember if there were vendors for cheese in the port shopping/market. If you're in Curacao as well, there's a vendor right along the walkway. But again, best prices are in the supermarkets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mafig Posted November 18, 2023 Author #3 Share Posted November 18, 2023 Anyone know which supermarket is the closest to the port? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted November 19, 2023 #4 Share Posted November 19, 2023 there are 2 in Eagle/ Palm Beach. Super Food and Ling &Sons. I believe those are the closest. Bus line L10A/B stops right at in front of the cruise port. Taxis are around $8 one way plus wait time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazon, I buy cheese off Amazon all the time. It's a little pricey but totally worth it. 🌟🌟🌟🌟 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonsmom Posted December 9, 2023 #7 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Did you purchase in a supermarket? Do they shrink wrap it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montanagirlalways Posted December 16, 2023 #8 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Really best to buy gouda in Curacao in the port area. They have all kinds of flavors and choices. It is a bit pricey in my opinion but so many options. I have bought partial wheels in Bonnaire and a little store across the bridge in Curacao which takes some searching. I don't think there is any in Aruba. Ive looked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mafig Posted January 16 Author #9 Share Posted January 16 We didn't buy it in Aruba, because we ran out of time, But I know they have them, and the prices are best in the supermarkets. We bought our Gouda in a store in Curacao. We bought a 10 lb/ wheel so, yes, it was wrapped in wax. We gave some to our neighbors. We came home on Dec. 4 and are just finishing it now. I think the price was about $40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think cheese could be brought back on land after disembarking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mafig Posted February 6 Author #11 Share Posted February 6 There's no problem bringing it in. We've done it a couple of times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
