Aussie Reacts | To Dutch Supermarket Albert Heijn

- This is my first time seeing a Dutch supermarket and what is different to those here in Australia. I was amazed to see a large number of cheeses and sprinkles (hagelslag). Unlike our supermarkets in Australia I love the idea of the hand scanners.
I love my Dutch heritage. My mother and Grandparents were born in Friesland, Netherlands and immigrated to Australia in the 1950s. I am trying to learn the Dutch language (and maybe West Frisian also). I love eating Dutch food and exploring the culture and all it has to offer.

Larger supermarkets in the Netherlands: Albert Heijn, Dirk, Coop, Jumbo, Hoogvliet, Vomar, Plus, Deen, Dekamarkt, EkoPlaza, Lidl and Aldi.
Wow that is a lot. In Victoria Australia we have two major supermarkets Woolworths and Coles. Then we have smaller ones like Food Works and IGA. As well as foreign Aldi.
Deen doesn’t exist anymore that family sold there shares to Dekamarkt and Vomar and Albert Heijn
Albert Heijn, Jumbo, Lidl and Aldi have nation-wide spread, where the other ones (Dirk, Coop, Hoogvliet, Vomar, Plus, Dekamarkt, Spar, Jan Linders etc.) have a more regional base. Several of them are in an alliance (like Dekamarkt/Vomar/Dirk) to buy more in bulk so they can offer their customers better prices and compete better with Albert Heijn and Jumbo.
@@RiBo1817 MCD supermarket is another that is in the 'superunie'
Aldi and Lidl are original German supermarkets but can be found all over Europe. Aldi, just like Puma and Adidas was one company but due to difference in opinion between brothers the Aldi company split in two, Aldi-Nord and Aldi-Sud, Aldi-Sud has yellow/Orange in the logo and can be found in the south part of Germany and in the UK. In the Netherlands, north part of Germany and Denmark you can find Aldi north stores.
We also have Spar supermarkt in small towns.
Albert Heijn will be glad with this free promotion. Pitty she does not tell, that the same brands of products are much cheaper in other Supermarkets.
True, AH is an old and well known supermarket and I like their range of products but they are also one of the most expensive supermarkets
You can see that this supermarket is in amsterdam, far away from the province Limburg. The vlaai shown is not typical Limburgse vlaai. Limburgse vlaai is an open fruit cake type os vlaai. Also Werthers is not dutch, it's german, but loved worldwide. She didn't show the fluffyness of the dutch bread, but to do that you have to open the package.
you could also see that from the title of the original video "food tour in Amsterdam".
Heineken, Amstel, Bavaria and Grolsch are the go to beers in the Netherlands. These are the ones that you will find in each super market and are the top beers sold in pubs. All are Dutch brands. Besides these theres many local/regional beers that people enjoy but they are more of a fine taste type.
En Hertog Jan 👌🏻
@@Diegotheparrot Yup, always preferred Hertog Jan :D
Don't forget Brand and Gulpener from Limburg. The Gulpener beer factory in Gulpen also produces mosterd and vinegar.
Love the reaction! You should react to the channel ''Not Just Bikes'' it's mostly about mobility and city planning (and mostly comparing countries such as Canada, the Netherlands, the US but also many more) I think all of his videos are amazing, but on this topic, he has a video named something like ''why grocery shopping is better in Amsterdam'' I think you'd find that interesting too!
Thanks so much for the content and your insights/thoughts:)
As someone from Den Bosch I can tell you that the same applies as what she said regarding the vlaai. You should try them in Den Bosch, just go down the escalator and keep going straight ahead. When you get to the first corner, you'll see a bakery called Jan de Groot (Usually you can tell which one it is by the ridiculous queue out front). That's where you should eat a Bossche Bol, they're considered the 'real' ones. Not to say they're not tasty when bought at the Albert Heijn, but they're nothing alike in he end. So I recommend trying both!
This specific Albert Heijn is located in a former telephone companie's switchboard center (KPN Telecom) with indeed offices on the floors above
I am an old dutch/canadian living in Canada for fifty plus years, i love apple stroop ( sirup ), it is like dark honey on toast .
In the north of the Netherlands you also have a supermarket called “Poiesz”
This is an Albert Heijn in the center of Amsterdam. It's very much focused on tourists and the prices are even higher than in a 'normal' Albert Heijn.
And the beer Heineken is 100% Dutch. Founded in 1873 by Gerard Adriaan Heineken.
People keep saying applestroop is eaten with cheese on bread but in this house we do it with regular sugerbiet stroop seen down here @ 18:44 preferably the Zeeuwse Boerin over Friesche Vlag. We also eat it on our pancakes and my mom eats it on krentebollen with cheese. Stroop is Treacle btw
Being a Dutchie in Adelaide, Australia - Supermarkets here are without any doubt 2nd class compared to the Dutch ones
Why? And isn't there a big difference between stores in (small) towns in the middle of nowhere and supermarkets in big cities?
Which beer is the most popular depends on the region. Were I live (somewhere in the east), we say that Grolsch is the real beer and Heineken is just horses' piss. Therfore we call it "Hinniken", which is the Dutch verb for the sound a horse makes.
The most popular Dutch beer brands are Amstel (produced by Heineken), Bavaria, Brand (also produced by Heineken), Grolsch, Heineken and Hertog Jan.
Jupiler, a beerv from Belgium is also very popular in the Netherlands these days.
@@gert-janvanderlee5307 Yes, but that's not a Dutch brand. I only mentioned the Dutch brands.
@@marktegrotenhuis I said it's from Belgium so I know it's not Dutch but it is a popular brand here.
@@gert-janvanderlee5307 Yes and there are a few more popular brands from both Belgium and Germany, but that was not the point. 😉 It was about Dutch beer brands, not about brands that are popular in the Netherlands.
@@marktegrotenhuis The point was to answer the question what the go to beer brands in the Netherlands are. So, that's what I did. I named one of the major go to beer brands in the Netherlands. Especially the younger generations in my area seem to like Jupiler more than a lot of the big Dutch brands. And no, "the go to beer brands in the Netherlands" that don't just have to be Dutch brands.
Albert Heijn and Jumbo are the biggest and most popular supermarkets in the Netherlands. Aldi is mainly known for being cheap and Lidl is quite somewhere between that. There are a few more smaller supermarket companies, but they are less popular.
Ps Heineken is a real dutch beer ,The domestic stuff is better than the export version ,
Heineken is not only the most famous Dutch bear abroad, it is also the largest beer brand on the Dutch domestic market (AFAIK).
_Personally_ , I don't care for it too much, I think the flavouring is a bit weak. Grolsch and Hertog Jan are more to my liking. But Heineken is a genuine Dutch beer for sure, and the largest brand.
The Albert Hein store in this video is NOT representative for Albert Hein supermarkets in the rest of the Netherlands. Most Albert Hein supermarkets do NOT have a souvenir section. The Bossche Bollen in this video are apparently an Amsterdam Bossche Bol version. A real Bossche Bol has no yellow or pink or any other colour of stripes on its top. Indeed, only a Limburgse vlaai bought in Limburg province has that specific Limburg taste. Werther's Original is not a Dutch candy but a German candy invented there in 1909. Werther's is imported into Australia by Stuart Alexander in Ultimo NSW. Yes Heineken founded 1864 is a real Dutch brand, Amstel is a brand of Heineken. Its biggest Dutch beer compeditor is Bavaria.
It's very common for a supermarket to have it's own bakery, so they always several types of fresh bread. We never eat bread that's more then a day old.
In Albert Heyn you can buy beer on the shelf next to the Coca Cola. In Australia you need to go to a special bottle shop section.
Hm, Heineken is a typical Dutch Pilsner type mass-market beer. It used to be the major and quite popular Dutch brand, but nowadays Grolsch (with the flip-top bottles and supposedly the oldest Dutch brewer that complies with German 'Reinheitsgebot') is making inroads in the more 'posh' segment of the market.
There are many delicious regional (or even neighbourhood) brands and types of beer. My personal favourite one is 'Gulpener Gladiator', which is at 10% of the heftier variety and comes in Half Liter cans.
There used to be a Bar in Utrecht with 150 different beers on tap. Not all of those were Dutch, but the vast majority was.
A major player in the Beer market is the Swinkels family owned beer brand of 'Bavaria' which used to be the lowest of lowest supermarket beer, but which has greatly improved and nowadays has many different types and flavours and a great range of malt-based 0.0 alcohol beverages, should you be so inclined to hydrate yourself with that.
about the Delft chocolates,
The packages were made with the typical white and blue colours and patterns of Delfts blauw (Delft Blue) pottery
Delft Blue is a type of pottery which is made in the Dutch city of Delft. The production of Delft Blue started in the 17th century and it is still being made today. In the early days of Delft Blue, potters began by making the traditional Delftware using clay. This clay was then baked before a tin glaze was added. Figures where then painted onto the glazed clay using crushed oxides, and then it was fired again. It was in the second baking stage that the paintings got their Delft Blue colour.
When potters in Antwerp fled from the Spanish Inquisition and settled in Delft, the manufacturing of Delft Blue pottery became more refined. The choice of clay changed and it was dipped in a white glaze. The Delft Blue style was used to make ornaments, plates, and also tiles. you see them a lot at tourist shops
The supermarket business is highly competitive in the Netherlands and although AH has the name of being the top-end one in quality and price, as a rule of thumb there are in the ground of the matter only marginal differences between them. That said, I make a habit of scanning the weekly folders and sometimes visit several stores in a row to take advantage of the particular deals and specific brand offerings. Best Bang for Buck is 'Dirk' but regional availability can be tricky. The weekly street market where independent sellers offer fresh produce is generally the best, freshest and affordable if one is spry enough to cover distances on foot and not shy of navigating dense throngs of other shoppers.
we used to have a lot more supermarkets tho, long time ago
4=6, fred van der werf, spar, edah, c1000 (more recent)
but those were all eaten by the larger ones, lidl, jumbo, aldi etc etc
always support your local shops guys ...
Heineken is Dutch beer, there is a brewery in Amsterdam you can visit..
Appel stroop is not a jam, but more like a syrup, it also has iron in it, its good for you..
Tompoes is just like vanilla slice, custard in the middle, puff pastry and icing on the top...
Appelstroop is like apple jam with the texture of honey.
Structure of appelstroop is like marmite.
Fresh poffertjes taste better, But it’s quite a lot of work
Appelstroop is apple syrup but more firm like jam. Sweet with the sour taste of apples.
Albert heijn is more expensive than other supermarkets, people on lower incomes do not shop there, i love how much choice there is in the dutch supermarkets.
I buy cumin cheese in woolworths, its really good...
That Albert Heijn is in the old head postoffice of Amsterdam.
The poffertjes are not Frozen but cooled. Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱🌷
OMG I miss gestampte muisjes on buttered rusks or bread and you never see it in Australia anymore. I guess it would be simple enough to make
The fresh poffertjes are better, but the one from AH is not bad
Heineken is a popular beer, but a brand like Hertog Jan is more popular I think.
why can't we have all this stuff? looks so good! i love cheese as well
Most of this can also be bought at other supermarkets but yeah, lots of it is very Dutch.
Heineken in brown bottles taste better than in the green ones, and it is same with amstel & grolsche.
Heineken/Amstel is the bulk beer. If you have a party you have Heineken. Everybody drinks it. The last decade there are more small brewers with some special beers.
Heineken is the world brand and because of that its taste is made that everybody will like it but its not a specific in its taste.
@10:15 You might not know what product it was, the brand you might know from the 'Droste effect', which is seeing an image where the same image is used in that situation. Like someone holding up a newspaper with the front page showing him holding up that newspaper. In the original image it got it's name from, you'll see a woman carrying a tray with a cup of hot chocolate and the packaging of the cacao powder. On the packaging on that image, you see the same woman holding a tray with a cup of hot chocolate and the packaging of cocoa powder.
Fun videos by the way!
The other supermarkt in Holland is jumbo..
Real dutch beer is whichever one is on discount that week.
not every Albert Heijn is this big
so they dont sell what you see in this clip.
the bekers below are frieslands own Friese Keukenstroop the best you can get
Love
Fresh poffertjes are WAY better than supermarket ones unfortunately. The good dutch beer is hertog Jan, bavaria is my preferred beer for just massive consumption. Grolsch and Heineken is what comes out in the toilet after we've drunk the actual beer.
The best beers are Brand, Hertog Jan, Alfa and Gulpener. But Belguim has the best beers
Werther's Original is actually German.
Appelstroop is more a kind of melasse
When I have eaten a "bossebol " I have to take a bath . HEINEKEN is Dutch.
Heineken is Dutch also Amstel
Is zij student poffertjes uit zak.
Heineken is Nederlands bier maar wel een beetje koppijn bier.
Belgisch bier is echt beter.
Ik vraag me wel af of ze iets verkopen in Australië. Nu lijkt het erop dat ze vanalles minder hebben dan hier in Nederland
Heineken,Amstel is Dutch
I thought that you are not allowed to import any foods at the airport on entering Australia?
Great comment. Australia does have strong border measures on food items that might pose a threat to our food growing industry, but this mostly relates to fresh , uncooked or raw products. So seeds, fresh fish, home-made item etc....
Commercially produced items are perfectly fine to bring in just need to declared on paperwork.
@@williamthedutchaussie Thanks for the explanation, I thought there was a blanket ban on all food stuffs. I believe that some food items are banned when crossing internal state lines? In moments of total boredom I’ve watched Australian tv programme observing the airport custom service and south Asians and Chinese travellers/non indigenous Australian residents concealing all types of very strange and dangerous food stuffs. Hopefully Wuhan bats, or any bats, are off the food ingredient list for Chinese travellers.
We do not eat ontbijtkoek for breakfast. Its a betweener. Like aroound half past ten in the morning or half past twp in the afternoon. We also have AH to go. much smaller and more expensive. You can find them basically on many trainstations.
Heiniken is Netherlandish beer. Maybe they different tastes in Australia.
I know in the past there were Netherlandish stores in Australia because there were a lot of migrants after the second world war. Maybe there still are.
Other Netherrlandish supermarkets are Jumbo, also very old. AH came from the provence Noord Holland. There still is the original shop at the Zaanse Schans. A outside museum. Jumbo cames from the south from the province of Noord Brabant. Zuid Brabant is in Belgium were it just called Brabant. We were once together with Luxembourg one nation. Thats why we use to be the Netherlands. After they seperated we became Netherland so without the S but for some reason English speakers and French and Spanish speakers still call us plural. And for some reason the English talking call us german because Dutch means Deutch which means german.
Other Supermarkets are called Vomar, Deka markt, Dirk van den Broek, Lidl. Aldi and there are also reforma stores and Biologic supermarkets like Eco plaza which is very expensive.
Then offcource we have normal markets in the street on some days or like the Albert Cuyp market in Amsterdam which is the longest one in our country and open every day of the week exept sunday. Here you can find everything as well and allmost everything is fresh like the Stroopwafels and the poffertjes.
So when you come to our country have a nice time and checl out all the nice food!
I do eat ontbijtkoek for breakfast sometimes, with butter. my grandma and other people I know do too. But I also eat them as betweener sometimes.
Heiniken is the biggest beer brand, but one of the least favorite ones together eith Amstel, we have much better beers, like brand, hertog jan to name just a few, we drink a lot of belgium and german beer aswell, jupiler and warsteiner
Only heathens eat their krentenbollen with cheese (looking at you mum!). Butter (the real stuff, not margerine) is more than enough.
Funny, I'm pagan, so there's that. cheese needs to be young though.
The Netherlands has more big Supermarkets. We have Jumbo (personel sponsor Max Verstappen) Plus is allso a big dutch Supermarket, Dirk vd Broek and Hoogvliet are big but some what more local. And then we have PicNic is a online supermarket.
And Lidl and Aldi... but those are German origin. And you forgot Plus.

I have included a link to the original video within the description.. TRAVEL VLOG IV. TH-cam. Mar. 26, 2016, th-cam.com/video/L8aiYaLFC6E/w-d-xo.html
Frikandellen are not sausages although they look like it. It's a sausage-like cylinder of deep fried waste meat, that although is cheap can be very tasty. But if you expect a sausage-like taste you will be disappointed.
albert heijn boycott yeah
Alber Heijn is one of the most expensive supermarkets, decent food and other stuff can be bought at any supermarket in The Netherlands. I refuse to go here, as it is badly organised, expensive and in general rubbish. Lidl, Aldi, Jumbo etc are by far better.
Some of the foods she shows are seasonal foods. Hutspot and stamppot are winter foods.
Willem pompernickel is not rye, rye bread is different, basically eating with either a slice of cheese (cow milk, like gouda) or pickled herring (Zure Haring).
Heineken is Dutch, manufactured in Enschede. Same goes for Amstel, Grolsch, Bavaria etc though some may be produced in other parts of the country.
Too bad she doesnt show food but only products.
For how long she is living in The Netherlands? She can't even pronounce the word gouda correctly. Really ridiculous!!! Gouda is pronounced with the "house" sound. So it is not Guda but Gouda.
How long have you been living on this planet? Still don't know what decent and respectful behavior is?
@@QnA22 We Dutch are honest and direct. If you can't stand this then don't come to our country.
@@hoppa_hoppahoppa1239 Read your message again, has nothing to do with honest and direct: "ridiculous".
@@QnA22 I don't have to read my message again. How st.... are you? It's ridiculous. Go cry somewhere else.
@@hoppa_hoppahoppa1239 The only rediculous thing here is your opinion. She's obviously using the english pronunciation most people use. It's like complaining to english people they don't pronounce "Paris" the right way.
