Long-matured country Gouda, which you can apply for taxes!

Our Gouda, from the Noorsee region of the Netherlands, is made from raw milk in the traditional country style. The deep orange-yellow cheese is shaped into an 18-kilo disc and coated with wax, after which the cheese is aged for two years under the tender care of master cheesemakers.

This cheese is full of wonderful "salt crystals" and it crunches on your teeth like a wonderful parmesan! The crystals are a sign of the long maturation and the very high quality of the milk. The crystals are not actually salt, but minerals naturally occurring in milk that condense during maturation as the cheese loses moisture.

Our Country Gouda has a taste of toasted butter and apricots. The cheese is a good match for velvety soft red wines, such as Port or Grenache. Thanks to its strength, this cheese also stands up well to more tannic wines.

Or try Gouda the Dutch way with brown ale-type beers!
