About Cow Milk Gouda Cheese

Cow Milk Gouda is a semi-hard cheese originating from the Netherlands, traditionally made from either pasteurized or unpasteurized cow's milk. It has a natural rind and is known for its caramel-like flavor with a hint of crunchiness. The cheese is artisan crafted, contributing to its rich and smooth texture. As it ages, Gouda develops a deeper flavor profile and may exhibit small, crunchy crystals. It's often enjoyed on its own or as part of a cheese platter, and pairs well with fruits and nuts. This cheese is versatile and can also be used in cooking to add a sweet, nutty taste to dishes.
