Brabander is a Dutch goat's milk Gouda that combines the fullness of matured Gouda with the fresh acidity of goat's milk.

The cheese is made in the province of Brabant and matures for at least six months. During this time, its texture thickens and the taste develops subtle nutty and caramel tones, which are balanced by the light minerality of the goat's milk. Brabander is made in a traditional country style and has received international recognition for its versatility - it is just as suitable as an everyday treat as it is as the crowning glory of a festive meal.

Drink recommendations:
The subtle yet rich aromas of Brabander combine wonderfully with many drinks:

• White wines: Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire, dry Chenin Blanc or Pinot Gris from Alsace highlight the acidity and fruitiness of the cheese.
• Red wines: Light and low-tannin wines like Beaujolais' Gamay or Burgundy's Pinot Noir make room for the subtle flavors of the cheese.
• Sparkling wines: Brut Champagne or Crémant de Loire cut the fat content of the cheese and bring out its fresh tones.
• Beers and ciders: Belgian witbier or saison accentuates the spiciness, while dry apple cider brings a lovely fruity contrast.
