North Holland Gouda – authentic Dutch cheese
North Holland Gouda is one of the finest traditional Dutch cheeses and is renowned for its rich, creamy flavour and exceptional quality. It is made from milk sourced exclusively from cows grazing in the lush pastures of North Holland. The unique coastal climate and fertile soil create milk with a naturally higher fat and protein content, resulting in a smoother and more flavourful cheese.
Only cheese produced and aged in the province of North Holland may carry the name North Holland Gouda. The Red Seal guarantees authentic origin and traditional craftsmanship, ensuring a premium Dutch cheese experience.
Why North Holland Gouda is special
The quality of North Holland Gouda begins with the milk. Sea air, mineral-rich soil and fresh grass give the milk its distinctive richness and creamy character. This results in a Gouda that is smoother, fuller in flavour and exceptionally balanced.
