american Gouda Cheese

Originating in the Netherlands centuries ago, Gouda has won worldwide recognition for its sweet, caramel notes and slight crystalline crunch. Though Gouda production now extends beyond its European roots, cheesemakers still follow traditional Dutch techniques to make it their own. Today, there are plenty of variations of the cheese to choose from, whether they're made in Wisconsin or the Netherlands; from traditional cow's milk or more unconventional sheep's milk; young, aged, or smoked.
