Naturally matured artisanal old Gouda cheese.
Let’s dive into the world of old cheese.
Cheese, with its rich flavors and textures, has been a beloved food for centuries. Among the diverse range of cheeses available, there is a special category that stands out – old cheese. Aged to perfection, old cheese offers a unique taste experience that cheese enthusiasts often crave. However, does the term “old cheese” always imply the same thing?
Whereas cosmetic manufacturers develop products to look younger, cheese manufacturers do exactly the opposite! New innovations are being used in cheese factories, such as adding maturation accelerators, which reduce the time it takes for the cheese to acquire the flavour of aged cheese. Fast maturation means lower maintenance and storage costs and therefore a higher profit margin.
In the Netherlands, for example, you can only label Gouda cheese as old after 10 months of ripening. This applies to the Dutch word ‘oud‘, but it does not apply to the English word old!
We all know well-known Dutch cheese brands that use the English word old on their cheese. You might think this is done because these cheeses are sold internationally but the Dutch word ‘oud‘ is not allowed on these cheeses in the Netherlands and if you have read the above, you will know why!
The passage of time is needed to get the tastiest naturally aged old cheese
Unlike cheeses aged with the aid of artificial processes, our raw milk Gouda cheese embraces the passage of time as its primary ally. It is a patient dance between nature and craftsmanship. As the cheese ages, the cheese wheel is turned regularly, ensuring an even distribution of flavor, resulting in a harmonious taste profile.
