What is Aged Gouda?

When a Gouda is aged the cheese changes in flavor and texture. The flavor gets stronger. Aged Gouda is sharp yet sweet at the same time. It is usually described as caramelly, nutty and buttery. The texture becomes more firm and flakey or crumbly when cut. When Gouda is aged to perfection it develops small pockets of crystals. When you chew the cheese you will find yourself surprised by these delightful tiny crunches. These crystals are simply lactic acid converted into a crystallized form, a natural part of the aging process. Aged Gouda can perk up any recipe..but the more the gouda is aged the more likely you will like to just enjoy it on its own. As the flavor gets stronger with age, the drink pairing can also get more bold to contrast the taste. Try with a strong Dutch beer, fruity red wines or tea.

Our "Flavored" Gooda®

Gooda® is a Cheeseland Inc. invention. It is a cheese using the same ingredients as a normal Gouda, but the cheese-maker adds extra cream to make the flavor more creamy and delicious. All of our “Flavored” cheeses are doused with a natural ingredient...not with a liquid tasting something like what it should. For example our Honey Bee® Goat cheese has a drizzle of honey, Our Kokos® Cheese has a healthy dash of Organic Coconut Cream. Truffe Noire® cheese is sprinkled with Italian black truffles and so on... Real ingredients make these cheeses infused with flavor. None of them are overpowered by these ingredients, just delightfully enhanced.

It is aged and tastes quite sweet for a cheese, making it the perfect desssert cheese. These cheeses have a firm texture, similar to our young and aged goudas.

edam

What is Edam?

A very mild cheese that is lightly salty and nutty. It has a lower fat content than many traditional cheeses and is softer than cheeses like Cheddar due to the low fat content. Edam pairs well with fruit such as peaches, melon, apricot and cherries. Enjoy it on crackers and bread as an appetizer or desert. It pairs delightfully with Pinot Gris or a dry or semi-dry Reisling, Shardonnay and Syrah.

Maasdammer

What is Maasdammer?

Like a Swiss cheese, Maasdammer is full of holes but Maasdammer is made in the Netherlands. The cows producing milk for that cheese are eating Dutch rather than Swiss grass and enjoying Dutch weather and so on, giving our Maasdammer cheese it’s own unique taste. It tends to be more firm and mild than an average Swiss cheese.
