Special Reserve Aged Gouda

What does Special Reserve Aged Gouda taste like? The gorgeous cheese is matured for over 18 months and uses the best possible local milk and ingredients. Aged Gouda has a fresh buttery fragrance with a sweet finish, that may take on an almost butterscotch flavour.

Where’s it from? Gouda, Holland. This Special Reserve Aged Gouda is produced by Landana and comes as a wrapped wedge of min. weight of 200g.

Recipes:

Gouda is lovely when grated on top of this Dutch Cheesy Chiili.

This Cheese Flamiche is a brioche-based tart. It looks a bit like a pizza, but the name is the giveaway – Famiche means ‘Flemish Cake’, so they’re more cake-y than a traditional flan.  Try it with some Gouda!

This Gooey Cheese Fondue Pot requires a mix of different cheeses, so Gouda is perfect to add depth of flavour.
