Fat 48+, pasteurized cow's milk, rennet, salt, starter culture.

The rich, robust taste of aged Gouda cheese

In the classic cheese family, aged Gouda occupies a true place of honor. After the younger and matured variants, this cheese is given no less than 10 to 12 months to mature peacefully on traditional wooden boards. This long process ensures that the moisture in the cheese largely evaporates. This creates a robust, firm structure with an extra piquant and intense taste, which is beautifully balanced by the rich presence of crunchy salt crystals (also called protein crystals).

Although aged Gouda has a firm structure, our variant is still excellent for slicing or shaving. This makes it not only the perfect candidate for a luxurious sandwich or a classic grilled cheese, but also the absolute star on any cheese board. Serve a cube of aged cheese with a good dollop of coarse mustard or a sweet fig dip, accompanied by a nice glass of full-bodied red wine or an aged port, and you create a taste sensation that your guests will not soon forget.

Freshly cut from the wheel for ultimate taste experience

At GoudaCheeseShop.com, quality and freshness come first. As soon as we receive your order for the aged Gouda, we cut it freshly for you from a large, round Dutch cheese.

Immediately after cutting, the cheese is tightly and completely airtight vacuum-packed. To optimally preserve the complex aromas and the perfect texture, we ship your order cooled. This way you are guaranteed to get a top quality cheese at home. Big advantage: as long as you keep the vacuum packaging closed, you can safely store the cheese in the refrigerator for at least eight weeks!

 

Frequently Asked Questions about Aged Gouda

When can a cheese be called 'aged Gouda'?

A Gouda cheese may bear the title 'aged Gouda' (or 'Oude Kaas' in Dutch) when it has reached a maturation time of 10 to 12 months. During these months, a lot of moisture evaporates, resulting in the well-known firm structure, the extra piquant taste, and the formation of the beloved salt crystals.

Are the white spots in aged Gouda mold?

No, certainly not! The white spots in the cheese are natural protein crystals (also often called salt crystals) that arise during the long maturation process. They are the sign of a high-quality aged cheese and provide that delicious 'crunch' in your mouth.

Is aged Gouda easy to cut or slice?

Yes, although aged Gouda is firmer than young or matured cheese, our 10 to 12 months aged variant is still surprisingly sliceable. For the best result, we recommend using a sturdy cheese knife or a special cheese slicer for hard cheeses. Also, take the cheese out of the fridge a while before use; it is easier to cut at room temperature.

How long can I keep the aged Gouda?

Thanks to the lower moisture content, aged Gouda can be stored excellently. Unopened in our vacuum packaging, it will stay perfect in the refrigerator for about 8 weeks. After opening, it is best wrapped in cheese paper; you can then safely keep the cheese in the vegetable drawer for 3 to 4 weeks.

Are there cheeses that are even older?

Certainly! For the real lovers of extreme piquancy and crumbliness, we also have 'Vintage Gouda' or 'Crumbly cheese' (aged 1 to even 4 years). Feel free to view our entire cheese assortment to discover the age that perfectly suits your taste.

Remarkable flavour
Review by
This cheese is labelled ‘extra piquant’ which is an underestimation: the flavour is one of the best in my opinion, and it has a nice firm texture too. Highly recommended & I will be buying this again.

The cheese arrived well wrapped within n a few days of ordering free of charge! Was so much easier and cheaper than buying it in the Netherlands and carrying it back. I am certain the taste will be fabulous too however will have to wait until our weddingday next month.

I tried many cheeses, and the aged one is extremely tasty, with a lot of uses. We love it especially with a crispy, fresh bread, although it's also great just by itself.
