And Then There Was Aged Gouda

Gouda is traditionally made by seperating the curd from the whey, then draining half the whey and replacing that half with water. This causes the cheese to develop a sweet taste. The longer the cheese sits the sweeter it gets, so the older the Gouda the better. And let me tell you, it tastes like this Gouda has been chillin' since moses wore short pants.

Body: Hard, yet ever so slightly pastry. Almost has a melt in your mouth quality but it's still something to chew on. Downright inspiring. - A+
Flavor: No nuttiness here. No funny business. Gouda is supposed to be sweet and nutty and that's just what this Gouda is. Well done Gouda. - A+
Overall Enjoyment: A+'s across the board for the Gouda. Not really much else to say. - A+

Josh Says: Gouda is traditionally served as a desert cheese. If you eat this Aged Gouda with some dark chocolate truffles you'll feel like a king guaranteed
