How to cut a whole wheel of Gouda cheese?
Depending on the size and the weight you want to cut, you can choose to offer flat pieces (great for cubes or grating) or triangles.
Regardless of how you cut, Gouda cheese are best cut 30 minutes after they are removed from refrigeration. Older cheese are most easily cut after at least 1 hour at room temperature. All Gouda cheeses are best cut using a cheese wire or a professional cheese knife. Also available in our webshop!
First cuts may have to be made at the edge of the wheel, by using a knife. These cutting suggestions should leave every piece with about the same cheese/rind percentage.
