What is the best Gouda cheese? Classic Dutch artisanal Gouda cheese is second to none in the world
Why is the authentic Dutch farmhouse Gouda the best choice?
For cheese lovers, raw milk Gouda cheese stands as the best choice—far beyond the bland uniformity of industrial Gouda cheese made from pasteurized milk.
Artisan Gouda- Cheese Made with Passion and Craftsmanship
Artisanal raw milk Gouda cheeses are crafted by dedicated artisans on small-scale family cheese farms in the Netherlands. These are people who understand the rhythms of the land, respect their animals, and produce cheese in small batches with care. This level of craftsmanship is what makes raw milk Gouda cheese not just top-quality, but a premier symbol of tradition and authenticity. These handmade, artisanal raw milk Gouda cheeses are still made in the same traditional way as they were hundreds of years ago.
Industrial Gouda cheeses, by contrast, are produced world-wide on a massive scale with consistency as the goal—not nuance or character. That’s why traditional raw milk Gouda cheese will always be the paramount option for those who appreciate flavour, quality and the art of cheese.
Doesn’t all Gouda cheese come from the Netherlands?
No, the name Gouda cheese is not protected, which is why Gouda cheese is produced industrially worldwide.
Unlike industrial Gouda, artisanal raw milk Gouda is protected and designated by the European Union as a traditional Dutch specialty.
If you’ve never tried raw milk Gouda cheese, you’re missing out on the supreme experience of cheese in its most authentic and exquisite form. For cheese lovers, connoisseurs, and culinary adventurers alike, raw milk Gouda cheese stands as the top-tier choice.
This type of top-notch Gouda cheese is recognized by the European Union as a Guaranteed Dutch Traditional Speciality.
Why Raw Milk Gouda Cheese Is the Finest Gouda Cheese You’ll Ever Taste
The most immediate and compelling reason raw milk Gouda cheese is so adored? Flavor. Because it’s made from milk that hasn’t been heat-treated, raw milk retains all the complex microflora and enzymes that give cheese its distinctive, rich, and layered character.
Each bite of raw milk Gouda cheese can offer hints of the pasture, the season, even the individual animal. That depth and terroir simply doesn’t exist in pasteurized Gouda cheese, which is often sanitized to sameness. Raw milk cheese is the unsurpassed option for anyone seeking unrivaled depth and individuality in taste.
Gouda with a Flavour That’s Truly Unmatched
Authentic Gouda made at the cheese farm has a Flavour That’s Truly Unmatched
Pasteurization destroys both harmful and beneficial bacteria. In raw milk, those beneficial microbes are alive and active, playing a vital role in aging and flavour development. This microbial complexity gives raw milk Gouda cheese its peerless ability to evolve over time—growing bolder, earthier, nuttier, or creamier, depending on the variety.
If you’re looking for the pinnacle of naturally aged Gouda cheese, raw milk Gouda cheese is the cheese for you.
Artisan Gouda – More Nutrients, More Goodness
Because pasteurization heats milk to high temperatures, it can destroy heat-sensitive nutrients like vitamin B2, B12, and certain enzymes. Raw milk cheese retains these, offering a more wholesome, nutrient-dense, and optimal option.
Raw milk cheese can also contain higher levels of omega-3s, conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), and probiotics, depending on how it’s made and matured.
Artisan Raw Milk Cheese—Literally A Taste Of The Place Of Origin
No two raw milk cheeses are alike. They reflect the animals’ diet, the environment, and the expertise of the cheesemaker. This is what gives cheeses like Dutch artisanal Gouda (made to ancient standards), Spanish Manchego, French Roquefort, English Stilton (traditionally), or Italian Parmigiano Reggiano their matchless, legendary, and elite reputations.
You’re not just tasting cheese—you’re tasting a place, a season, a tradition. That’s something no industrially-produced pasteurized cheese can replicate.
