Gouda Cheese (extra matured 48+ months/spicy - block), 760g
Gouda Dutch cheese is an extra matured at 48+ months cheese and is very rich and spicy. This is regarded as the signature Dutch cheese throughout the Netherlands, with its deep flavours developed through natural aging for over 48 months in historic cheese warehouses. As an aged cheese, tyrosine crystals (amino acids) can be tasted subtly. It is a sign of excellence to have these evenly distributed throughout the body of the cheese. Its firmness allows it to be served at room temperature for hours without losing its beautiful golden appearance. This makes it a perfect cheese for a cheese platter in combination with a soft-ripened, blue and other more flavourful cheese varieties. Aged 48 months
