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

Origin and the unique taste of the Red Seal Cheese

Extra Old North Holland Gouda is a special North Holland specialty. The cheese is made under the strictest requirements and according to authentic recipes in the Lutjewinkel cheese factory. The exclusive use of 100% North Holland meadow milk, from cows grazing on salty meadows, forms the basis for its unique taste. Thanks to the authentic preparation method, this cheese is allowed to bear the prestigious Red Seal.

The cheese undergoes a long and intensive ripening process. For 12 months, this North Holland Gouda ripens on wooden boards under ideal conditions. This creates a full, piquant, and robust flavor, and small, crispy ripening crystals (also called salt crystals) form in the cheese. Despite this, the cheese retains a wonderfully creamy mouthfeel. This cheese is therefore fantastic to enjoy purely on a cheese board, optionally accompanied by a robust red wine or port.

Vacuum-packed for optimal quality

We offer this extra old North Holland cheese in various weights. To guarantee excellent quality and robust texture, your piece of cheese is always cut fresh from the wheel. Afterwards, we standardly pack the cheese tightly and completely airtight in a vacuum bag. During shipping, we always add a cooling pack. Thanks to this packaging, you can effortlessly keep this old cheese in your refrigerator for weeks, provided it is unopened.

Frequently Asked Questions about North Holland Gouda Extra Old

What does the 'Red Seal' mean on this cheese?

The Red Seal guarantees that the cheese has been prepared with 100% pure North Holland meadow milk and originates from the specific region. This seal is a symbol of authentic recipes, strict supervision, and very high, consistent quality.

Where do the white dots in the cheese come from?

The small, white dots that you may find in this cheese are ripening crystals (protein and salt crystals). These occur naturally during the 12-month ripening process and contribute to the unique 'bite' and extra flavor experience of extra old cheese.

How long can I keep this extra old cheese in the refrigerator?

In the original, unopened vacuum packaging, this hard cheese can certainly be kept in the refrigerator for 7 to 8 weeks. After opening, we advise wrapping the cheese in the supplied cheese paper; thanks to its long ripening and harder structure, it often stays good for several more weeks.
