Semi-cured Cheese – Gouda Cheese Aged 4 Months (raw milk)

Semi-cured artisanal Gouda cheese by Craxi cheese.

Craxi semi-cured artisan Gouda farmer’s cheese.

Semi-cured Craxi Gouda artisanal cheese undergoes a natural maturation of 4 months. Raw milk semi-cured cheese is a treasure trove of flavors and textures. It is made from unpasteurized milk, which retains the complex natural flavors of the milk and the environment where it was produced. The semi-cured aspect means that it’s been aged for a few months but not as long as fully cured cheeses. This gives it a semi-firm texture and a rich, creamy interior, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of culinary creations.

Price & product information.

This 4-month-aged farmstead Gouda cheese is made using the traditional method with raw cow’s milk (unpasteurized milk) on the cheese farm in the Netherlands.
