📌 FAST FACTS
Gouda Cheese
Gouda is a semi-hard cheese traditionally made from cow’s milk. It originated in the Netherlands and is named after the Dutch town of
Gouda, which historically served as a major cheese trading center.
Gouda-style cheese dates back to at least the 12th century. Farmers brought cheeses to market in Gouda, where they were weighed and sold. The name now refers to a cheese style rather than a protected place of origin.
Gouda is made by heating curds and washing them to remove some lactose. This process contributes to its mild sweetness. The cheese is pressed, brined, and aged for varying lengths of time.
Young Gouda is mild and creamy. As it ages, it becomes firmer and develops nutty, caramel-like flavors. Extra-aged Gouda may contain crunchy protein crystals.
