What is Gouda Cheese?

If you’re a cheese lover, you’ve probably heard about or even enjoyed Gouda cheese – you’ve savored the smooth, creamy and slightly sweet goodness of this cheese named after the city of Gouda in the Netherlands.

What makes it so unique?

Well, for one, its taste! The sweet, buttery and creamy flavor that Gouda is known for makes it a great choice for crafting delicate cheese creations. It has a sturdy texture, and a piquant aroma.

Smoked Gouda is smoked slowly in ancient, brick ovens over smoldering hickory chip embers, giving you a creamy smoky flavor that’s so irresistible. So when Mary created her Italian Gourmet cheese ball recipe, naturally, Gouda was in. Its comforting and delightful taste makes it a great party-pleaser.

Gouda Cheese Pairing

Gouda is great with crackers and fruit as well as with light fruity wines, beer and ales. Wines we suggest: Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, Beaujolais and some lighter-styled Chardonnay.
