Dutch farmhouse cured cheese from Craxi Cheese in Spain.

Cured Cheese: Authentic Dutch Farmhouse Gouda cheese in Spain

Traditional Dutch Gouda cheese, naturally cured and handcrafted (boerenkaas), made from raw milk.

Cured cheese is one of the star products in the world of aged cheeses. The term cured cow cheese includes varieties like cured artisanal Dutch farmhouse Gouda cheese, known for their firm texture and intense flavor that develops over time.

Is there a difference between the Gouda cheese you buy at the supermarket in Spain and the Dutch artisanal Gouda offered by Craxi in Malaga?

  • Gouda industrial (supermarkets) – Made worldwide from pasteurized milk.
  • Gouda artesanal (Craxi Queso) – Is only made on Dutch cheese farms in the Netherlands with raw milk.

Maturation times of our cured Gouda cheeses made from raw cow’s milk. In stock in Spain:

  • 4 months naturally matured Gouda natural.
  • 6 months naturally matured Gouda natural.
  • 8 months naturally matured Gouda natural.

Aging time Gouda artesanal

Although the term “aged” can refer to any cheese that rests after production, it is only called cured when it has been aged for 4 to 8 months, ensuring a deeper flavor profile.

Firm texture, intense flavor

During this time, the cheese gradually loses moisture, resulting in the dry and firm texture typical of cured cheeses. This dehydration also intensifies its aroma and taste, making it an ideal ingredient for snacking or in recipes that require a bold gastronomic character. Artisanal Gouda cheese is especially appreciated by cheese lovers for its full and rich taste and makes it perfect for cheese boards, grating over dishes, or pairing with bread and full-bodied wines.

Benefits of cured Gouda cheese

Besides the full and rich taste of artisanal Gouda cheese, are there any other benefits of consuming cured Gouda cheese? It is an excellent source of protein, calcium, and vitamins, and due to its long maturation process, it contains very little lactose, making it more tolerable for cheese lovers with lactose intolerance. In well-aged Gouda (6 months and up), the lactose levels drop to almost zero—often under 0.1 grams per 100 grams. That’s low enough for most people with lactose intolerance to eat cheese without any unpleasant consequences.
