Named after the town from which it originates, Gouda has been produced since before the 16th century. Simple, flavorful & well loved, it is made from whole milk & is slightly richer than its close relative, Edam. As traditional as it gets, our red wax Gouda (so named for its red wax rind) is creamy with a smooth semi-firm texture & is the perfectly indelible cheese to have as a snack, serve for an hors d'œuvre or spruce up your sauce.
