Gouda Grand Cru
Aged Dutch Artisan Cheese with Exceptional Depth
Contents: Extra-aged cow’s milk Gouda, matured for 12–18 months

Product Description

Gouda Grand Cru is an elevated expression of traditional Dutch Gouda—slow-aged for 12 to 18 months to achieve a concentrated, caramelized flavor and a dense, crystalline texture. Made from the finest pasteurized cow’s milk, it undergoes meticulous affinage that enhances its complexity, developing notes of butterscotch, toasted nuts, and aged cream. A true gourmet cheese, it rivals even the most refined Alpine or hard Italian cheeses:

• Made from high-quality pasteurized cow’s milk

• Naturally aged for up to 18 months

• Firm, amber-golden paste with visible tyrosine crystals

• Natural brushed or waxed rind

• Lactose-free and rich in calcium and umami

Tasting Notes

• Intense, nutty, and caramelized flavor

• Firm yet crystalline texture with a slight crunch

• Notes of brown butter, toffee, and roasted hazelnuts

• Deep, savory finish with a hint of sweetness

Serving Suggestions

Serve at room temperature for full expression:

• Outstanding on premium cheese boards with fig jam, Marcona almonds, or dates

• Shave over pasta, risotto, or roasted vegetables

• Pair with aged Bordeaux, Oloroso Sherry, or dark beer like Belgian Dubbel

• Elegant addition to wine tastings, dessert pairings, or festive platters
