Beemster X.O. - Extra DOUBLE Aged Gouda - Pound Cut (1 pound) by igourmet.com
by igourmet (Misc.)

A cheese that requires three adjectives to describe it had better be something special. Well, we nearly died of delight when we first sampled this remarkable cheese. In our minds, the chance that any cheese could be even more flavorful than our 18-month Aged Gouda was remote. But this one pulled it off! The first thing we noticed about our new 36-month Gouda was that its texture was crumbly, like that of Parmigiano Reggiano or Grana Padano. Then we tasted it, and WOW! was it packed with flavor. Butterscotch immediately came to mind, followed by alternating waves of whiskey and pecan. All this from a product with three basic ingredients: milk, salt and, most importantly, time.

It partners very well with beer and wine, especially when served with dark breads, such as pumpernickel.Made from pasteurized cow's milk.Photo depicts whole 18 lb. form of cheese.We cut and wrap this item by the 1/2 pound.Please contact us if you would like to purchase the whole form.

Bearing the symbol of the town of Leyden - two crossed keys - this newly available Farmhouse Leyden is richer and prettier than our mainstream Leyden that has been satisfying customers for many years.

Wonderful with fruit, pair it with Cheddar to enjoy the contrast in texture and taste. Net wt. 2 lb.

Walnut Gouda (8 ounce) by igourmet.com
by igourmet (Misc.)

The cheese market in Holland is changing rapidly. For years, Holland was known for Gouda and Edam, two simple cheeses that appeal to the masses. But as tastes have moved upscale, the popularity of Gouda and Edam has waned. With almost every cheese plant in Holland geared up for the production of these two cheeses, a gap between supply and demand threatened to put the smaller cheesemakers out of business. While many got bought out by larger competitors, several shifted their strategy to new and inventive specialty cheeses. Since the mid 1990's, many new cheeses have been developed in Holland. Rouveen, the maker of this cheese, is one of the pioneers of the specialty movement.Rouveen's Walnut Gouda turns plain old boring Gouda into something fantastic and exciting. A cheese you will crave endlessly, Walnut Gouda is everything you expect it to be and more. Subtle yet flavorful, the walnut adds a sensual warmth to the basic Gouda cheese, whose texture is not gummy like many ...

Boerenkaas (8 ounce) by igourmet.com
by igourmet (Misc.)

In modern Holland, there are few remaining farmers who still make cheese by hand on the farm. Boerenkaas is, by definition, a handmade Gouda. Creating Boerenkaas is more art than science, leveraging a tremendous amount of knowledge, tradition and skill in the process. Our Boerenkaas is only made from May to October when the weather permits the cows to stay outside and eat fresh grass. Because it is made from raw milk, this cheese has a full, tangy flavor, with much more character than any factory-made Gouda cheese could possibly match. Its six month aging period gives it even more flavor and leaves behind characteristic amino acid crystals. Enjoy with a full-bodied red wine and a hunk of fresh bread.Made from unpasteurized cow's milk.Photo depicts whole 20 lb. form of cheese.We cut and wrap this item by the 1/2 pound.Please contact us if you would like to purchase the whole form.
