So, what is gouda?
Gouda is a semi-hard cheese originating from the Netherlands. Made from cow's milk, it is rich in flavor with a smooth and creamy texture. The cheese has a yellowish hue and is known for its distinctive nutty taste. Gouda is typically aged for several months, resulting in a firmer texture and sharper taste, while younger gouda is milder and more buttery. It can be enjoyed on its own as a snack, used as a melting cheese in dishes like grilled cheese sandwiches or mac and cheese, or paired with wine or beer for an indulgent treat.
