Old Gouda – Natural Cured Old Artisan Cheeses

Craxi old Gouda cheese in Spain.

What is the maturation time of a authentic old Gouda cheese?

How long does traditional Dutch Gouda cheese have to mature before it can be called “old”? In the Netherlands, artisan Gouda cheesemakers only label a cheese as “old” after it has matured naturally for 12 months. Fun fact: This rule only applies to the Dutch word “oud.”

You’ve probably never wondered why well-known Dutch brands of industrial Gouda cheese choose the English word “Old.” Do they only use it for export? No, they use it in the Netherlands too!

Could it be that this cheese hasn’t been aged for at least 12 months according to the Dutch standard and can’t be offered in the Netherlands under the name “oud”? What do you think? 😉

The answer to this is quite simple: many industrial Gouda cheese producers use maturation accelerators! These ripening accelerators ensure that industrial cheese has a taste that resembles 12-month matured cheese after a shorter maturation period of 8 months, which should give the consumer the impression that he is consuming 12-month naturally matured cheese.

Want the real stuff? Dutch artisanal Gouda

Traditional artisanal Gouda is the type of Gouda cheese that has been recognized by the European Union as a Traditional Speciality Guaranteed of the Netherlands.

When our 12-month Gouda reaches the perfect ripening point at the cheese farm in the Netherlands, it’s shipped to Malaga so you can enjoy authentic old Dutch Gouda cheese in Spain.

Gluten – Is Gouda Cheese Gluten-free?

Gluten free cheese.

Traditional Dutch Gouda cheese made with raw cow’s milk is gluten-free

We often get questions like ‘Which Gouda cheese contains gluten?’ or ‘Which Gouda cheese is gluten free?’ The answer is very simple: Our Gouda cheese does not contain gluten (contains no grain products).

Dairy products with additives such as custard, fruit quark, cheese spread, processed cheese, may contain gluten. Check the ingredients of these products on the label.

What are gluten actually?

It is a protein that occurs naturally in wheat, spelt, rye and barley. Gluten is also found in products made from these grains. Think of bread, crackers, pizza, pasta, breadcrumbs, biscuits, cake and pie. It is also hidden in products where you would not immediately expect it. For example, in the ingredients of soups (binder, vermicelli or meat), in sauces, some sweets, ice creams and beer.

What about grated Gouda cheese?

If you want to buy the bags of pre-packaged grated Gouda cheese (industrial Gouda) in the supermarket, it is wise to first check the ingredients label.

If you’ve ever wondered why the cheese from the pre-packaged bags of grated cheese ‘flows’ so well and does not clump into a ball! In the dairy industry additives are used as a anti-caking agent like potato starch and cellulose. Cellulose is made from wood pulp and some cheese brands contain up to 4% cellulose.

If you want to skip the cellulose, you can also simply opt for our old Gouda farm cheeses, such as our 12, 24 or 36 month matured Gouda cheese, and grate it yourself!

Freezing grated Gouda cheese is very well possible in handy portions This way you always have grated cheese on hand for your cheese sauce or casseroles. When you defrost grated cheese, let it defrost slowly in the refrigerator but we advise not to do it with large pieces! It may change the texture, making it crumblier when you defrost it.

Where to buy gluten free Gouda cheese in Spain.

Our Dutch Gouda farmer’s cheeses are available in Spain in our cheese shops in Malaga city and can be ordered via the webshop.

In our cheese shops in Malaga we only sell the authentic Dutch artisanal Gouda farmhouse cheeses. You can also order our Gouda cheese online in our webshop. We offer home delivery with refrigerated transport to the peninsula.

Lactose Free Cheese

Lactose free cheese – Craxi 8,12, 24 and 36 months matured Gouda.

Is Gouda farmer’s cheese lactose free?

Lactose intolerance is an annoying intolerance to live with. But the good news is that there are many lactose-free dairy products on the market today. We are happy to explain to you when Gouda farm cheese is lactose-free in the ripening process.

What is lactose and lactose intolerance

Lactose is a type of sugar that occurs in milk and dairy products. That is why it is also called milk sugar. This sugar is also found in certain cheeses. For example, young and young matured cheese sometimes still contain lactose. However, as cheese matures, the milk sugars are converted into lactic acids, which reduces the lactose content. Some people have difficulty digesting lactose; this is called lactose intolerance. In this condition, people are more likely to experience stomach problems due to the sugars that are not properly broken down in the body.

But how do you know if the Gouda farm cheese you want to eat is lactose-free?

If you follow the following guidelines, we are on the right track…..

Cheese is made by adding rennet to milk. Rennet ensures that the solid part (curd) of the milk separates from the liquid (whey). And the liquid contains the most lactose. Hard cheeses contain little liquid and therefore less lactose. In addition, the lactose is converted into lactic acid during ripening, i.e. because the lactose is converted during the ripening process of the cheese into lactic acid, we can say that mature Gouda cheeses are the key if you have a lactose intolerance and want to eat cheese.

How much lactose one can eat varies per person. Roughly speaking, we can say that with hard cheeses (from mature) the cheese is almost lactose-free (approximately 0.1 gram per 100 grams of cheese).

These aged Gouda cheeses with the following maturation period are virtually lactose free:

  • Gouda farmer’s cheese: matured for 8 months.
  • Gouda farmer’s cheese: matured for 12 months.
  • Gouda farmer’s cheese: matured for 24 months.
  • Gouda farmer’s cheese: matured for 36 months.
Craxi 8, 12, 24 and 36 months matured Gouda cheese. Lactose Free Cheese
Craxi 12 and 36 months matured Gouda cheese

The degree to which someone is lactose intolerant varies from person to person. Most people do not experience any complaints with cheese that contains less than 1 gram of lactose per 100 grams of cheese. But one person can tolerate much less, and another a lot more. It is therefore important that you get a feeling for what you can and cannot do.

Cheese: Are There Health Benefits

It is even smart to eat cheese! Cheese is rich in various vitamins such as vitamin A, B2 and B12. In addition, it is a source of minerals such as calcium, phosphorus and magnesium, zinc and selenium. Cheese contains protein and fat and little or no carbohydrates.

Do you suffer from lactose intolerance? Don’t worry, because you can still enjoy cheese! From mature cheese, the milk sugars are converted into lactic acids, so that there is no more lactose in the cheese. This means that mature Gouda cheese are lactose-free.

Where can i find lactose free matured Gouda cheese in Spain

You can find matured Gouda cheese in our specialized Craxi cheese stores in Malaga city where we only offer authentic Dutch artisan Gouda cheeses. You can also order our matured Gouda cheese online in our webshop. Online cheese orders will be delivered to your home on the peninsula by refrigerated transport.

Gouda Cheese Wheel – Raw Milk Cheese

Artisanal Gouda cheese wheel.

Everything You Need to Know About Buying a Whole Wheel of Artisanal Dutch Gouda Cheese.

If you’re on the hunt for an whole wheel of artisanal Gouda cheese, you’re in for a treat. Whether you’re hosting a party, stocking up for a culinary adventure, or for yourself, family and friends, buying Gouda cheese in bulk can be a flavorful and cost-effective choice. At Craxi Queso, we’re here to guide you through the process of finding the perfect wheel of Gouda cheese, how to buy it, and how to make the most of your cheesy investment.

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:

  1. 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!
  2. 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.

The Authentic Dutch Gouda Cheese.

The type of Gouda cheese we offer in Spain is a Dutch Gouda cheese made largely by hand from raw milk. The designation has been protected by the European Union since 2007 as a guaranteed traditional speciality. Only Dutch Gouda cheese made on a cheese farm using traditional and controlled methods may be sold as artisanal Gouda cheese.

Craxi Dutch Gouda farmer's cheese is a Guaranteed Traditional Speciality (TSG)

In Spain we carry only authentic, high-quality Gouda cheese and focus on quality and authenticity, ensuring you get the real deal straight from the dutch cheese farm on your table! In close cooperation with a number of Dutch cheese farmers, we import the best authentic Gouda cheese wheels into Spain. You can purchase whole natural Gouda cheese wheels with a maturation periods of 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, and 36 months.

What is the approximate weight of a whole large cheese.

The ripening time determines the weight of the cheese. Skilled artisans handcraft the large cheeses, resulting in variations between pieces. On average, our young Gouda cheese wheels weighs about 16 kilos, while our 3-year-old Gouda cheese typically weighs around 14.5 kilos.

Can you also cut the cheese wheel into wedges for me?

Yes, we are happy to do that for you. On request we will cut your Gouda cheese wheel into approximately 1 kilo pieces and vacuum-seal each piece. In the vacuum packaging, the pieces can be kept in the refrigerator for 3 months. If you open the vacuum, you can pack the cheese in cheese paper, which we supply and is added. In the cheese paper, the cheese can be kept in the refrigerator for 2 weeks.

How will you deliver my cheese?

We will ship your Gouda cheese wheel from our location in Malaga using refrigerated transport directly to your doorstep on the Spanish Peninsula or mainland Portugal.
