New product
Aged Gouda cheese aged for a minimum of 24 months. It has a medium strong flavor and is produced in Holland with raw cow's milk and with the traditional methods of its production. Its name comes from "Boer", which means Farmer, and "Kaas", which means cheese. It is what in Spain we could define as farm cheese that is distinguished in different denominations such as Mahon or Idiazabal. Being a farm or farmer cheese gives it its final name of Fermier cheese, which is the legal and controlled name in cheeses made by hand with the milk of the herd raised by the farmer.
A few seconds after tasting this Gouda, its intense flavor explodes (slightly caramelized), and with a nutty aroma. Its paste is hard, with an aged texture, and orange in color. Its bark is waxed with a light yellowish coating.
