Simply irresistible as a snack or on a cheese board to surprise your guests.
Crafting Artisanal Excellence: The journey of this herbed Gouda cheese begins with making the finest quality cheese, and for this endeavor, unpasteurized cow milk takes center stage. The decision to use unpasteurised milk is intentional and in the age-old tradition of Gouda cheese making, as it imparts a depth of flavor and character that distinguishes this Gouda farm cheese from the Gouda cheese made in the factory with pasteurised milk.
Ingredients: The core of this culinary cheese adventure consists of a carefully composed mix of fresh basil, peppery notes of black pepper, aromatic garlic, the earthy charm of oregano leaf and paprika. These herbs, together with the raw milk Gouda, create a very tasty herb cheese.
The Green Pesto Herb Infusion: The magic happens during the infusion of the herb blend into the cheese-making process. As the milk transforms, the herbs release their essential oils and flavors, intertwining with the curds to create a cheese that is a true reflection of its herbaceous origins.
Craxi Gouda farmer’s cheese is a Guaranteed Traditional Specialty. Our Craxi farmer’s Gouda cheese with herbs are still made traditionally with raw cow’s milk on the cheese farm in the Netherlands.

Every bite is a celebration of craftsmanship and a testament to the superior flavour profiles that only handcrafted raw-milk Gouda cheese can provide.
Craftsmen craft artisanal cheeses with care.
Unlike factory cheese, which is produced on a massive scale using automated processes, artisan cheese is handcrafted with meticulous attention to detail. Artisan cheese makers carefully choose the best ingredients and process the milk often from their own or local farms that value quality and sustainability. The cheese-making process is a labor of love, requiring expertise, patience, and an artisan’s touch. This devotion to craftsmanship results in cheeses that are unique, distinct, and imbued with a sense of authenticity you won’t find in mass-produced alternatives.
Rich Heritage and Tradition.
Artisan cheese embodies the rich heritage and traditions of cheesemaking that have been passed down through generations. Many artisan cheesemakers follow age-old techniques and recipes, honoring the cultural significance and regional nuances of cheese production. From the rolling hills of the Spanish countryside to the idyllic dairy farms of the Netherlands, each artisan cheese is a living testament to centuries of expertise and a connection to the land from which it originates. With every bite, you savor a piece of history and embrace the stories woven into the fabric of artisanal cheese.
Quality You Can Trust.
Quality is paramount when it comes to cheese, and artisan varieties offer an unmatched level of assurance. By producing cheese in small batches, artisans have the ability to maintain rigorous quality control throughout the entire process. From the sourcing of raw materials to the aging and ripening stages, every step is carefully monitored, ensuring that only the finest cheeses make their way into your hands. When you choose artisan cheese, you can be confident that you’re indulging in a product of exceptional quality, made with passion and expertise.

For individuals who are restricted from consuming salt due to health concerns, the journey to find a delicious, low-sodium cheese can be a challenging one.

Our saltless Gouda cheese is crafted with care, focusing on completely minimizing salt content while preserving the delightful taste and texture cheese lovers adore. The traditional cheese-making process involves salting, which contributes to its distinctive flavor. However, for people on a strict salt-free diet, the salt content should be significantly reduced. We have gone a step further with our saltless Gouda cheese by denying them ‘swimming lessons’ in the brine bath so the cheese is not able to absorb the salt.
Did you know that our ‘regular’ Dutch Gouda farmer’s cheese contains less salt than factory-made Gouda?

Why does Craxi Gouda farmer’s cheese have a lower salt content than factory-made Gouda?
Well, the answer is quite simple our cheeses stay for a shorter period in the brine bath. Gouda farmer’s cheese is made with raw milk (more flavour) and factory-made Goude from pasteurized milk and has to stay longer in a brine bath to absorb more salt to develop some taste.

Our aged Craxi Gouda cheese has matured for 12, 24 and 36 months. These 1, 2 and 3 year old cheeses are for foodies who love well-matured old cheese, with deep flavours and distinct aromas.
But it all starts with the cows and what they eat and the craftsmanship of the cheesemaker. The family farm in the Netherlands has been making authentic classic Gouda cheese in the traditional way for generations from the daily fresh untreated milk (raw milk) of cows.
Refining the cheese is also a craft. Ripening and caring for the cheese is the final phase and also takes place at the cheese farm. Only when the cheeses have reached the ideal ripeness and taste can they go on ‘holiday’ to our cheese shop in Málaga, Spain.
Aged Gouda cheese with salt crystals.
As Gouda ages, it develops what people popularly call ‘salt crystals,’ providing a pleasant crunchiness and serving as a sign that the cheese has reached perfect maturity for us.
What are those crunchy white crystals in aged Gouda cheese?
Crystals formed from protein, not salt as many believe, create the white dots seen in aged cheese. As the cheese matures, crystals of amino acids and calcium form from the protein. As the cheese matures, it dries out and acquires a more pungent taste.
When do protein crystals form in Gouda farmer’s cheese?
The formation of protein crystals during the ripening process starts between 8 and 10 months

Gouda cheese is a beloved cheese around the world, but have you ever tried the herb-infused varieties made from raw cow’s milk on a traditional cheese farm in the Netherlands? The difference in quality and taste is truly remarkable.
Although the vast majority of all Gouda cheese nowadays is made in cheese factories, authentic Dutch raw milk Gouda cheese is the well-kept “secret”!
We know we are preaching to the choir, but the difference between factory-made Gouda cheese and authentic Dutch Gouda farmer’s cheese is truly stunning in flavour.
The still family-owned cheese farms in the Netherlands have been producing the traditional Gouda cheese for generations using only raw cow’s milk from their own cows. The result is a cheese with a smoother, creamier texture and a richer, more complex flavor than factory-made Gouda cheese.
The production process of raw milk Gouda cheese allows the natural flavours of the milk to emerge, resulting in a cheese with a unique taste experience. Factory-made Gouda cheese is made from pasteurised milk that has been homogenised, losing much of its natural flavour and complexity.
Not only is raw milk Gouda more flavourful and complex, but also its salt content is 25 percent lower than factory-made Gouda cheese!
Have you ever tried herb-enriched Gouda farmer’s cheeses?

Cheesemakers in the Netherlands produce various types of cumin cheese.
Factory-made cumin cheese (pasteurised milk)
Gouda farmer’s cheese with cumin (raw milk cheese)
Leyden cheese (raw milk cheese)
As you will understand from us we leave out factory cheese! Although we do not make Leyden cheese ‘only’ Gouda farmer’s cheese (Goudse Boerenkaas) with cumin we start with Leyden cheese (Leidse Kaas) because this cheese was the most important cheese in the Netherlands for centuries.
We can safely assume that the origins of the use of cumin in cheese began in the immediate vicinity of the city of Leiden in the Netherlands because, according to the annals, this cheese was first spotted in the Leiden market in the year 1303.
Why did this cheese become popular?
During that time, people regarded butter as the most significant and valuable dairy product. They considered Leiden cream butter, produced from raw milk, as the world’s tastiest. Even back then, they distinguished the butter by applying the Leiden keys as a guarantee of its origin and quality.
The high demand for this high-quality butter created a problem, namely a residual product ‘skimmed milk’ for which there was no really good use except mixing it with cattle feed. Initially, on some farms, cheese was made with skimmed milk but this flat-tasting low-fat (30+) cheese could not compete with full-fat (48+) Gouda farmer’s cheese.
When did this cheese with cumin seeds become popular?
Leyden cheese (Leidse Kaas) flourished during the time of the United East India Company (VOC, 1602-1800). The VOC’s spice trade brought many spices to the Netherlands including large quantities of cumin.
As cumin was now widely available, farmers started using cumin to enhance the taste of the cheese, which proved to be a successful combination. This cheese became successful not only for its taste but certainly also for its long shelf life due to its low-fat content (30+) which was important in a time without refrigeration and long sea voyages.
During the VOC period, Leyden cheese was a source of protein for the crew and its low-fat content made it long-lasting, did not sweat or melt in tropical temperatures. Because of these characteristics of the cheese, the VOC ordered some 3 million kilos annually.
In the heyday of the production of Leidse Kaas there were about 700 farmers making Leidse Kaas in the Netherlands in 2022 there are still 12.
How to recognise real traditional Leyden cheese & Gouda farmer’s cheese with cumin?
To distinguish the Gouda cheese, known for its yellow color, from Leyden cheese, the latter was intentionally given a red/brown hue. Additionally, Leyden cheese stands out with its one straight shoulder and one round shoulder, as Gouda cheese is exclusively permitted to have two round shoulders.
As a buyer, you can identify the unique Leyden cheese by the presence of a special logo with keys printed on the rind. This practice has been in place since the 17th century. On the other hand, you can recognize Gouda farmer’s cheese by the barrel-shaped cheese seal.
The European Union granted Leyden cheese the status of a protected regional product in 1997.
In 2007, Gouda farmer’s cheese received the designation by the European Union as a guaranteed traditional speciality.
