That's because boter (butter) was/is a protected term in the Netherlands; 'boter' couldn't be used for anything but real butter. So instead of butter they used the term cheese. The translation however is accurate: 'peanut butter' is 'pindakaas' in Dutch.

I'm confused, the article says it's a hexagon, one of the pictures shows it as a hexagon, but another one shows it as a pentagon.

You may want to count the corners of the "pentagon". I think it's just a weird fish-eye lense effect or similar that's causing some warping.

Dutch gallery gets inaccessible for people with peanut allergy. I hope they issue warnings when selling the tickets.

The translation in the article is incorrect. In the Netherlands, the word for peanut butter (pindekaas) translates to "peanut cheese".
