First of all, what you need to know about Gouda cheese!
To keep it simple and this is a bit of a shortcut, but because a lot of people don’t know this, we make a first crucial distinction between 2 different types of Gouda cheese:
Mass-produced industrial Gouda cheese: Industrial producers make Gouda with pasteurized milk. Since the name “Gouda cheese” lacks protection, you might believe you are purchasing Gouda from Holland. However, as previously mentioned, the name is not protected. This means that even if the label features windmills or the word “Holland,” the cheese could just as easily come from a South American country or Poland!
The real stuff Artisanal Dutch Gouda Cheese: Our artisanal raw milk Gouda cheese ensures unparalleled quality and flavor by being crafted in small batches, unlike mass-produced industrial Gouda cheeses. Cheese farmers in the Netherlands produce this traditional Gouda using centuries-old techniques, following Dutch cheese-making traditions that define authentic Dutch Gouda.

Flavor description
Smoked Gouda cheese has a deep, smooth flavour, with notes of caramel and nuttiness, complemented by a subtle but lingering smoky aroma. The raw milk adds an earthy note and richness that balances perfectly with the smokiness, creating a complex and refined flavour profile.
How to smoke cheese
The cold smoking process.
Cold smoking involves generating smoke in an external heat source. Only the smoke is led to a separate smoking chamber, where the cheese is located. Cold smoking is a technique that adds a unique flavour to cheese without altering its internal structure. Unlike hot smoking, which uses high temperatures, cold smoking maintains temperatures below 30°C (86°F), ensuring the cheese doesn’t melt or cook during the smoking process.
Cold smoking steps:
Preparation: To prepare the cheese to absorb the smoke, you keep it at room temperature for a few hours. It must be completely dry before the smoking process begins.
Wood Selection: The type of wood used is crucial to the final flavor of the cheese. Hardwoods such as hickory, apple or cherry are popular choices because they provide a smooth and complex flavor.
Smoke Generation: An external heat source generates smoke without raising the temperature of the smoking space, and the smoke is channeled into the chamber containing the cheese.
Smoking: The cheese undergoes exposure to smoke for several hours, depending on the desired level of smoky flavor. This process can take from 4 to 24 hours.
Is the cheese edible immediately after the smoking process?
No, after smoking the cheese needs to rest. The cheese rests for a few days in a cool, dry environment so that the flavors can settle and fully integrate.
What are the best woods for cold smoking cheese:
Applewood
Maple wood
Cherry wood
Hickory wood
Wood types with a lot of resin, such as coniferous wood, are not recommended because they also develop less pleasant aromas.
Dishes to pair with smoked Gouda cheese
Smoked Gouda cheese is extremely versatile and can elevate a wide variety of dishes:
Cheese boards: Paired with dried fruit, nuts, and honey, smoked Gouda is ideal for a gourmet cheese board.
Sandwiches and burgers: Its smoky flavor perfectly complements grilled or roasted meats.
Pasta and gratins: Grate smoked Gouda over pasta or gratins to add an extra layer of flavor.
Soups and creams: Adding smoked Gouda to a pumpkin soup or French onion soup can transform the dish.
Fondue: Melted smoked Gouda is a delicious choice for a fondue accompanied by crusty bread and fresh vegetables

Raw Milk: The Soul of Traditional Dutch Gouda Cheese
The true essence of Dutch Gouda cheese lies in its main ingredient: raw cow’s milk. This unpasteurized and unprocessed milk comes from cows fed on fresh grass from the fertile Dutch lands. Raw milk retains all of its natural enzymes and bacteria, which helps develop a genuine flavor and unique nutritional profile in the cheese. Unlike pasteurized milk, raw milk provides a complexity of flavors and aromas that faithfully reflect the terroir of the cheese farms.
Artisanal Gouda Cheese Production: A Manual and Traditional Process
Artisan cheese makers pass on the art of making authentic Gouda cheese from generation to generation. The process starts with milking the farm’s own cows. They then bring the raw cow’s milk to the cheese production area and apply strict hygiene standards. In the production area they gently heat the milk and add natural rennet to help the milk coagulate. Once the curd is formed, they cut it into small pieces to release the whey.
The next step is washing the curd, where hot water is added to remove part of the whey and adjust the acidity. This process, characteristic of Gouda cheese, contributes to its smooth and creamy texture. Once the curd is washed, it is placed in molds and pressed to remove excess liquid. The cheeses are then soaked in brine, which helps preserve them.
Maturation: The Key to Classic Flavor
After the brine bath, the maturation process begins, ranging from a few weeks to several years. During this time, the farmer stores the cheeses in ripening chambers with controlled temperature and humidity conditions. The younger cheeses, known as soft Gouda, have a mild flavor and soft texture. As the cheese ages, its flavor intensifies and its texture becomes firmer and more crumbly, giving rise to varieties of semi-cured, cured, old and extra old Gouda.
The True Taste of Dutch Gouda Cheese
The taste of authentic Gouda cheese is a symphony of sweet, salty and nutty notes, which intertwine to create a unique culinary experience. Each bite takes you on a sensory journey through the green Dutch meadows, showcasing the dedication and love put into making each piece. This genuine, true flavor is what has made Gouda cheese a favorite around the world.

Origins in the Netherlands: Gouda cheese originated in the medieval town of Gouda in the Netherlands. The first record of Gouda dates back to the 12th century, and it has become one of the most famous cheeses worldwide. The cheese derives its name from the town where people historically traded it, not from where they produced it.
Traditional Gouda Cheese Production at the Cheese Farm
Authentic Gouda farmer’s cheese is made from cow’s milk and undergoes a meticulous process to develop its characteristic flavor and texture. After curdling the milk, the curds are cut and heated, which helps to release the whey. The curds are then pressed into round molds and soaked in a brine solution to enhance the flavor. The cheese is aged for various periods, ranging from a few weeks to several years, resulting in different varieties from young to very old.
Handcrafted Excellence: The Artisanal Cheese-Making Process
Generations of artisans have passed down the craft of Gouda cheese-making, focusing on quality, tradition, and authenticity. Unlike mass-produced cheeses, cheesemakers produce artisanal Gouda in small batches, paying close attention to every detail. This hands-on approach ensures that each wheel of cheese is unique and of the highest quality.
Quality ingredients: Traditional Gouda cheese makers process cow’s milk into cheese from the milk of their own pasture-raised cows This high-quality milk contributes to the cheese’s rich, creamy texture and complex flavors. Furthermore, the use of natural rennet and traditional methods further distinguishes artisanal Gouda from its industrial counterparts.

The authentic taste of Dutch Gouda cheese, a cheese with Gouda designation of origin, and a cheese whose production has a long tradition dating back centuries: Dutch Gouda farmstead cheese.
Do you prefer the taste of artisanal Dutch Gouda or industrially made Gouda?
Many consumers worldwide assume that all Gouda cheese exclusively originates from the Netherlands. However, Gouda cheese is crafted in numerous places globally. This misconception arises because the name “Gouda cheese” isn’t legally protected, allowing producers from different countries to create their versions. As a result, there are various interpretations of Dutch Gouda cheese worldwide.
Certainly, the reputation of Dutch cheese precedes itself, known for its exceptional quality and distinct flavor profiles. This reputation is not unfounded, as Dutch cheese makers adhere to stringent standards and traditional methods that have been perfected over centuries. However, it’s essential to acknowledge that not all cheese labeled as “Dutch” originates from the Netherlands.
In the global marketplace, there are indeed significant differences in the quality of cheeses labeled as Gouda cheese. While some may genuinely be crafted in the Netherlands using authentic techniques and local ingredients, others may be produced elsewhere with varying degrees of adherence to Dutch traditions.
This distinction is particularly important for consumers who value authenticity and seek out genuine Dutch cheese. It’s not uncommon for manufacturers outside the Netherlands to capitalize on the prestige associated with Dutch cheese by mimicking its packaging, labeling, and even flavor profiles. This can sometimes lead to confusion among consumers who may inadvertently purchase a product that falls short of their expectations in terms of quality and authenticity.
If you are a cheese lover, you cannot miss this culinary experience. Say goodbye to boring and predictable factory Gouda cheeses and discover the special taste of artisanal Dutch Gouda cheese made from fresh, unpasteurized cow’s milk.
Craxi artisanal Gouda.
Artisanal Dutch Gouda cheese is a very versatile semi-hard cheese, from young to old, but also our herb variations. From delicious on a cheese board to perfect as an addition as an ingredient in hot or cold dishes.
We make Dutch Gouda cheese using traditional techniques on a cheese farm in the Netherlands. The European Union has officially recognized this variety of Gouda as a Guaranteed Traditional Specialty of the Netherlands.
Gouda cheese is one of the most famous and widely consumed cheeses in the world, with its origins in the Netherlands. Here is a summary of its history.
Origin of Gouda cheese.
Gouda cheese can be traced back to the 12th century in the Netherlands. Gouda is a city located in the province of South Holland in the Netherlands. The city’s name became synonymous with this delectable cheese, because Cheese farmers from far and wide came to this city to offer their cheese at the market. Gouda was an important trade center at the time and as the demand for this cheese increased, the city developed as an important cheese trading center and cheese became an essential part of the economy.
Gouda cheese development and popularity.
Over the centuries, cheesemakers developed and refined Gouda cheese, making it a very popular product both in the Netherlands and abroad. During the Dutch Golden Age in the 17th century, the Gouda cheese trade prospered, and the city of Gouda became a major cheese trade center. Gouda cheese’s reputation as a high-quality product spread throughout Europe and beyond.
Cheese traders shipped Gouda cheese worldwide as international trade expanded. This established Gouda as one of the most recognized cheeses globally. Today, Gouda cheese is produced in different parts of the world. However, the original Gouda, crafted from raw cow’s milk at the cheese farm in the Netherlands, remains highly esteemed. Cheese enthusiasts particularly cherish its full, rich flavor.
Artisan Gouda cheese characteristics.
Milk Type.
Traditionally, Gouda cheese is made with raw cow’s milk, but there are also versions made from goat’s or sheep’s milk. According to regulations, the milk for traditional Gouda cheese cannot be heated above 40°C. By not allowing the milk to rise above this temperature, it preserves all its characteristic bacteria and enzymes. The milk used has to come from the cows living on the cheese farm grazing in the green fields, which gives it a characteristic flavor.
Texture and Flavor.
Craxi Gouda cheese is recognised for its diverse flavour profile. Gouda cheese can exhibit a wide range of flavour qualities, from mild and creamy to more pronounced and spicy, depending on its age. Gouda cheese undergoes a remarkable transformation as it ages, transitioning from a soft, creamy texture to a firmer consistency. Initially mild and sweet, its flavor evolves into a pronounced, spicy profile with age.
Cheese Rind.
A distinctive feature of Gouda cheese is its waxy rind. This wax layer protects the cheese during the ripening process and gives it a distinctive appearance. After the cheese comes out of the brine bath, it must first dry and then it goes to the ripening room on the farm. Here the cheese is placed on wooden planks and the coating process begins. This is done to give the cheese a protective layer and to prevent it from drying out. The cheese is turned regularly to coat both sides. Regular turning of the cheese is also necessary for an even ripening process of the cheese. Gouda cheese therefore has a double rind layer: the outer wax layer and the natural rind underneath. It is imperative to remove the wax rind before consumption, while the natural rind is completely edible.
Cheese maturation.
Maturation time can vary from a few weeks to several years, resulting in different flavor profiles. The process of ripening is also called affinage and during this process the cheese remains on the farm in a special ripening room. Refining is a profession in itself, you could even say a craft in which temperature and humidity play a major role in the flavor development of the cheese. Every day the cheesemonger is busy on the farm with maintenance, turning and ripening of the cheeses. He then selects which cheeses can go to Spain and which ones need to mature further for a while.

Craxi artisan Gouda cheese is available in different flavors. In addition to the traditional types such as young Gouda and aged Gouda matured for up to 3 years, there is also Craxi Gouda infused with herbs or spices with a range of flavors.

Unsalted Dutch Gouda Cheese for a Low Sodium Diet.
For people who need to limit their salt intake for health reasons, finding a delicious, low-sodium cheese can be a challenge.
Our Artisan Unsalted Gouda is for those who need to limit their salt intake but love tasty cheese.
We carefully craft our unsalted Gouda cheese, concentrating on minimizing salt content while preserving the beloved flavor and texture that cheese enthusiasts crave. The traditional cheese-making process typically involves salting, which imparts its distinctive flavor. However, for those adhering to a strict salt-free diet, we significantly reduce the salt content. We’ve gone a step further with our salt-free Gouda cheese, denying them “swimming lessons” in the brine bath so that the cheese can’t absorb the salt.
Our artisanal (‘regular’) Gouda cheeses already have a significantly lower salt content than industrially made Gouda cheeses.
