Boorenkaas Gouda

by Cheeseland. Product of Holland.

Boerenkaas Gouda is a type of Dutch cheese that is made from raw cow's milk using traditional methods. The name "boerenkaas" translates to "farmer's cheese" in English, as it is made by small-scale farmers using milk from their own herds.

Boerenkaas Gouda has a rich, creamy texture and a tangy, nutty flavor that becomes more pronounced with age. The cheese is typically aged for anywhere from 4 to 36 months, with older cheeses having a stronger flavor and firmer texture. The rind of the cheese is often coated in wax or plastic to help preserve the flavor and texture.

Boerenkaas Gouda is often enjoyed as a table cheese, sliced thinly and served with crackers or bread. It can also be used in cooking, melted on sandwiches or in dishes such as macaroni and cheese. Boerenkaas Gouda is known for its high quality and is recognized as a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) product within the European Union. This means that in order to be called Boerenkaas Gouda, the cheese must be produced using traditional methods within a specific region of the Netherlands.
