Look for local Dutch beer brands on the shelves of any supermarket. Gin is thought to have been invented in the 16th century by a chemist for medinical purposes. You can find all sorts of brands of speculoos on the supermarket shelves in Amsterdam.
Speculoos is the flavor of a type of spiced shortcrust biscuit, often found in spreadable form. I found the spread a little too sweet, but many love it. Windmill cookies hold a special fondness for me, as I grew up eating them as a child. Our local European specialty store stocked them, and somehow made its way into our home. I did not pick up pickled herring but can confirm I did see it available everywhere. There was even an all herring stall in town. If herring is your jam, you will find it in abundance here.
But on this visit, I came across an unexpected gem— the Moca Museum. The Moca Musuem is not what I expected from a modern art museum. Its compact size and very unmodern building added to the uniqueness of this fantastic space. The Moca Museum showcases the rock stars of modern art— with the current focus on graffiti artist Banksy. Dutch mustard is another great souvenir to bring back from Amsterdam— the flavor is strong and tasty.
Dutch mustard can be used in the typical ways you might use it back home with sausages, in dressings, on sandwiches.
But the Dutch also serve their mustard alongside cheese. So if you are bringing home a wheel of gouda highly recommended you might want to get some mustard to accompany it for a true Dutch experience. My local friends recommended the mustard made in nearby Zaanse Schans, widely available in all supermarkets.
Delftware is made in nearby Delft a cute town I visited on an earlier trip , and is easily identified by the blue and white patterns. If you like the look of delftware but not the hefty price tag for the real thing, there are plenty of cheaper fascimiles that have the look but not the necessarily the quality of the original. Large dishes might be tricky to carry home, but something like a ceramic necklace is easy enough to wear home.
If you visit the popular day trip destination of Zaanse Schans, you will see those iconic windmills that are synonymous with the Netherlands. A windmill themed souvenir seems like a logical way to remember your visit.
