Cheese feature of the week: Gouda

Our award-winning Gouda cheese.

This 6 month old Gouda will be a welcome addition to your next cheese board and you’ll also find it melts beautifully, opening up endless possibilities for dining and entertaining. 

Very few wines will miss when paired with our Gouda, but try a Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling or even your favorite champagne to start. For beer, an ale is a sure bet. Try serving on a cracker with a small wedge of pear or apple. Or slice a baguette and melt your Gouda over thin sliced tomatoes and top with a sliver of capicola or Canadian bacon to experience a little piece of cheese heaven on earth. 

Gouda was developed centuries ago in the southern region of the Netherlands and is known for its solid texture and complex character. Young Gouda starts out with an aromatic and sweet, caramel-like flavor that becomes more savory and nutty with age. 

Today master cheesemakers are crafting our Gouda from the legendary Guernsey milk that comes exclusively from the Hoard’s Dairyman Farm. Experience the art of cheese in its finest form.
Click HERE to learn more about Hoard’s Dairyman Farm Creamery cheese, our historic farm’s Guernsey cows, and to order this award-winning Gouda cheese and other varieties online.
