The sublime taste of Old Gouda Cheese (Overjarige kaas)
In the wonderful world of Gouda cheese, there is one variant that stands head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to intensity: the Old Gouda Cheese (in Dutch known as 'overjarige kaas'). This impressive cheese has a maturing period of more than a year. Because the cheese has been lying in a traditional warehouse for so long, much of the fluids in the cheese have evaporated. After a year, it has a very solid consistency, and it is even a bit dry.
What makes this cheese truly irresistible is that during that time, the salt inside the cheese has crystallized. Therefore, this very mature cheese has a very rich and salty flavor, accompanied by a fantastic 'crunch' with every bite. This cheese is an absolute delicacy that is often served with some red wine. You can also break the cheese into rustic pieces and serve it with a touch of fig mustard. In addition, this cheese is a secret ingredient in the kitchen: grate it over a casserole or pasta to instantly give any dish extra spice.
Freshly cut from the wheel for ultimate quality
At GoudaCheeseShop.com, you are assured of absolute top quality. As soon as we receive your order for the Old Gouda Cheese, we cut (or crumble) it with the greatest craftsmanship freshly for you from a large, authentic Dutch cheese wheel.
Immediately after cutting, the cheese is tightly and completely airtight vacuum-packed. To perfectly preserve the concentrated aromas, the crystals, and the firm structure, we ship your order with a cooling pack. The hard structure of Dutch cheese makes it perfectly suitable for sending by post. As long as you leave the vacuum packaging unopened, this cheese can be kept in your refrigerator for an extremely long time!
