Aging for four years could result in some pretty powerful cheese, but this Gouda gracefully ages to a mellow, very complex cheese that will add certain wisdom to the cheeseboard. It is a true Boerenkaas Gouda meaning a "farmer's cheese", that is also farmhouse thus made on a single farm. Boerenkaas are always made with whole, raw milk from cows that have been grazing on pasture. It is an excellent substitute for grating cheeses and will caramelize nicely under the broiler. The texture is similar to Parmigiano-Reggiano, very firm and flaky with the same clusters of protein crystals that burst with flavors on the palate. The color is deep amber and burnt orange, and the flavor is sweet and salty with a butterscotch finish. Product Metrics:
