The award-winning taste of North Holland Gouda Old
If you are looking for the ultimate Dutch old cheese, the Old North Holland Gouda with the Red Seal is the absolute pinnacle. Made from 100% pure North Holland meadow milk and passionately prepared by the cheese masters in Lutjewinkel, where this tradition has been honored since the sixteenth century. This dedication to quality has not gone unnoticed: the cheese was awarded Gold at the prestigious World Cheese Awards 2024-2025 and achieved the highest score at the Superior Taste Award!
This Gouda Old has matured peacefully for at least 10 months. During this ripening process, the cheese loses moisture and develops its distinct, complex, and piquant character. What makes this cheese extra special are the protein crystals (often confused with salt crystals) that form during ripening. These small, white crystals provide a fantastic 'crunch' in the mouth and elevate the taste experience to an extraordinary level. It is the undisputed pride of any cheese board and the perfect partner for a sturdy glass of port, a full-bodied red wine, or a dark specialty beer.
Freshly cut from the wheel for optimal taste
At GoudaCheeseShop.com we understand that a champion cheese deserves the best treatment. We only cut this Old North Holland Gouda fresh from the knife the moment we receive your order. Immediately after cutting, your piece is packed tightly and completely airtight in a vacuum. To preserve the complex flavor, perfect structure, and fine crystals during transport, we always ship your order with a cooling pack. As a result, you not only bring top quality into your home, but you can also safely store the cheese (unopened in the vacuum) in the refrigerator for weeks.
