The cheese strikes an ideal middle ground—more complex and aromatic than young Gouda, yet still smooth and approachable compared to the older, crumblier varieties. This makes it a favorite among cheese lovers who enjoy a bit of character without overwhelming sharpness. Made from cow’s milk and naturally lactose-free, Aged Gouda is as versatile as it is delicious—equally at home on a cheeseboard, in a sandwich, or melted over warm dishes.
