History and Origin of Gouda Cheese

Gouda cheese is a jewel of the Dutch cheesemaking tradition. Its history dates back to the 6th century, when it began to be produced in small farms around the city of Gouda, located between Utrecht and Rotterdam, about 42 km from Amsterdam. Although it was initially a local product, it began to be exported approximately 700 years later.

During this maturation time, it develops a unique flavour profile, with roasted nuances that blend harmoniously with sweet tones , reminiscent of black liquorice or caramel .
