Good quality - fast delivery
Review by
Good quality cheese delivered to northernmost outskirt of Finland in 9 days. Customs found the shipment fishy and detained the package for a few days for inspection, but the cheese was so well packed that no damage occurred. I am a very satisfied customer and will shop again and again.

Smooth Good Tasting Cheese
Review by
The taste of the product reminds me of my childhood.
I remember my Aunt (whom I loved very much) using the same kind of good tasting cheese every time she makes my favorite fruit salad. Even the 'touch' of product takes me back to my fondest memories of helping her make her great tasting fruit salad. Excellent work Gouda Cheese Shop!
