• Gouda Red Wax Holland

HOLLAND’S MOST FAMOUS EXPORTED CHEESE IS GOUDA WITH ITS CHARACTERISTIC YELLOW INTERIOR DOTTED WITH A FEW TINY HOLES. IT HAS A MIND NUTLIKE FLAVOR THAT IS VERY SIMILAR TO EDAM BUT ITS TEXTURE IS SLIGHTLY CREAMIER DUE TO ITS HIGHER MILK FAT CONTENT. GOUDA CAN BE MADE FROM WHOLE OR PART SKIM COW’S MILK AND AGED ANYWHERE FROM A FEW WEEKS TO OVER A YEAR. THE YOUNGER THE GOUDA THE MILDER THE FLAVOR. WHEN AGED OVER A YEAR IT TAKES ON ALMOST A CHEDDARLIKE FLAVOR. GOUDA IS PARTICULARLY GOOD WITH BEER AND RED WINES.
