Who would think an aged gouda could be so caramelly, so buttery, it breaches hard candy territory? The texture of this cheese varies from dense and silky in the center of the wheel to crystallized and crunchy at the edges—always with notes of butterscotch and caramel, always with salty and sweet in perfect counterpoint. It is a candy among cheeses, and a Gilt Taste favorite.

Here's what you get:

Gimme that Gouda!

This Gouda is enormously popular here at Gilt Taste—especially among the stylists and photographers who took these pretty pictures—for its layers of texture and its nuanced, almost candied flavor. Four years of cave-aging produce a cheese so different from a supermarket Gouda it’s like night and day. A cheese of the caliber needs nothing more than a great beer, such as a favorite IPA, or a brilliant, ruby glass of Cabernet Sauvignon. It is a remarkable after-dinner cheese.
