The irresistible taste of truly extra old
What makes this extra old North Holland Gouda so irresistible? The secret lies in the milk and the time. Thanks to the Red Seal, you can be sure that the cheese is prepared with 100 percent pure meadow milk from North Holland. The salty soil of this province naturally gives the milk a fuller and creamier taste. Subsequently, this cheese wheel has been allowed to mature for an extra long time in peace. This has made the cheese wonderfully crumbly and richly filled with those beloved, crackling white ripening crystals.
A whole cheese wheel of this caliber is an absolute sensation at parties, exclusive events or in the display case of a large consumer. Despite its robust and crumbly structure, the cheese melts fantastically on the tongue. Break or cut robust pieces for a luxury cheese board, perfect in combination with a sturdy red wine, old port or a dark specialty beer. With this extra old cheese you bring an authentic masterpiece into your home!
How do you cut a whole cheese?
Cutting a whole cheese may seem like a challenge, especially with a crumbly cheese, but with the right technique it is very simple. Use a professional cheese knife with two handles or cut the cheese step by step into manageable wedges. View the image below for the best way to divide your cheese wheel, so that you always get beautiful pieces.

Frequently Asked Questions about Whole Cheeses
What exactly does the Red Seal mean?
The Red Seal guarantees that the cheese has a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO). This means that the cheese is made exclusively from 100 percent North Holland meadow milk and is traditionally prepared in the region itself. This ensures a unique, full-creamy taste.
How long can I keep a whole cheese?
A whole, uncut cheese in the original coating can often be kept outside the refrigerator for weeks to months, provided it is stored in a cool and dark place. As soon as the cheese is cut or vacuum-packed in pieces, store it in the refrigerator.
Is there a discount on a whole cheese?
Yes, certainly. Buying a whole wheel of cheese is proportionately always cheaper than buying individual pieces. Ideal for large consumers and parties!
Do you also sell other whole cheeses?
Absolutely! In addition to this extra old Gouda, we have wheels of young, matured and various herb cheeses. View our complete category Whole Cheese to discover all large cheeses.
