Gouda (Netherlands)

Gouda is a semi-hard cheese, and similar to cheddar in that it comes in a variety of intensities. Long-aged goudas, that is aged for over a year, have the consistency of a hard Parmesan. However, young goudas are soft and have the ability to melt. Oh, and Gabriel Gaté’s Dutch gouda tartlets are AMAZING!
