Fenugreek seeds are small, golden seeds known for their nutty and slightly caramel-like aroma, and when added to Gouda, they create an unexpected but delightful flavor profile. As the cheese matures—typically for a few weeks—the seeds soften slightly, releasing their distinctive taste into the creamy matrix of the cheese. The result is a smooth, mild cheese with bursts of subtle crunch and sweetness, making it perfect for both snacking and cooking. Gouda Fenugreek pairs well with dark breads, fruity chutneys, and light white wines. Like traditional Gouda, it is made from cow’s milk and becomes naturally lactose-free as it ages, making it suitable for most cheese lovers. Its eye-catching appearance, with tiny seed speckles throughout, also makes it a conversation starter on any cheeseboard.
