Fascinating footage of the cheese market in the Dutch town of Woerden nearly a century ago. Woerden lies in the province of Utrecht in The Netherlands. The film shows local cheese producers entering the market square to witness the revelation of a statue that commemorates the 40 year jubilee and the founders of this cheese market. Subsequently the producers can be seen negotiating with traders to get the best price for their cheese. Thereby they use the ancient tradition of "handjeklap" which involves the seller reducing his asking price by small steps and the buyer increasing his offer until they meet somewhere in the middle. With each step they lightly smack each other's hands.
The monument is called "De Kaasbel" (The cheese bell). The plaque from 1925 to commemorate the 40 year jubilee is now replaced by one that celebrates the 100th jubilee on 26th of June 1985, signed by the Queen's Commissioner: https://www.beleefwoerden.com/nl/loca...
