GOUDA, Netherlands - Surrounded by 15-kg wheels of cheese ready to be carted away in horse-drawn carriages, a dairy farmer in the Dutch city of Gouda faces off against a cheese trader wearing traditional wooden clogs.
Staring each other in the eyes, they clap their hands together until they seal a deal, recreating an auction ritual that dates back to medieval times.Two famed Dutch cheeses, Gouda Holland and Edam Holland, are among the many artisanal European products threatened with U.S. tariffs the Trump administration announced on April 8.
The Dutch, the world’s second-largest agricultural exporter after the United States, send 78 million euros worth of cheese products to the U.S. every year, according to Statistics Netherlands.
