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.

Low Sodium Cheese for a low-salt Diet

Gouda farmer’s low sodium cheese & saltless Gouda cheese.

Craxi low sodium Gouda cheese.

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.

Craxi saltless is a raw milk unsalted Gouda small cheese wheel weighing about 1 kg.

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?

Gouda CheeseSalt Content
Factory-made Gouda cheese± 3.5% salt
Factory-made Gouda cheese with ‘25% less salt’± 2.5% salt
Craxi Gouda farmer’s cheese± 2% salt

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.

Saltless Gouda is for those who need to limit their salt intake but love tasty cheese.

Salt-free cheese in Spain - Artisan low sodium cheese wheel with a weight of approx 1 kg. Saltless Dutch Gouda farmer's cheese is available in our cheese shop in Malaga, or to order online.

The benefits of low sodium cheese.

Low sodium cheese offers numerous benefits for individuals who need to limit their salt intake. Firstly, it provides a solution to those who crave the rich, savory taste of cheese while maintaining a healthy diet. By reducing salt content, low sodium cheese allows individuals with salt restrictions to enjoy their favorite dishes without compromising on flavor.

By opting for low-salt cheese, individuals can still savor the cheesy goodness they love while supporting their cardiovascular well-being.

Moreover, low sodium cheese is a valuable source of essential nutrients. Cheese, even in its reduced sodium form, remains a significant source of protein, calcium, and vitamins. Protein is crucial for muscle growth and repair, calcium supports bone health, and vitamins aid various bodily functions. Incorporating cheese with a lower salt content into a balanced diet allows individuals to enjoy these nutritional benefits without the adverse effects of excess salt.

For whom is low sodium cheese recommended?

It is always important to consult a health professional before making significant changes to your diet, especially if you have a specific medical condition.

There are different reasons why someone might follow a low-salt or salt-free diet. Some of the people who may benefit from this type of diet include:

  1. People with hypertension or high blood pressure: Reducing salt intake can help control blood pressure and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
  2. People with kidney disease: A low-salt diet may be recommended for those with kidney disease or kidney filtration problems, as it helps to reduce the workload on the kidneys.
  3. People with fluid retention: Salt restriction can help reduce fluid retention in the body, especially in cases of oedema or swelling.
  4. People with liver disease: Some liver diseases can be aggravated by excessive salt intake, so a low-salt diet may be recommended.
  5. People with certain heart disorders: Some heart disorders, such as heart failure, may benefit from a low-salt diet to reduce the workload on the heart.

Aged Gouda Cheese 1, 2 and 3-Year-Old

Aged Dutch Gouda cheese.

For lovers of aged Gouda cheese!

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

Craxi Gouda farmer’s cheese is a Guaranteed Traditional Specialty. Our cheese farm in the Netherlands still produces our Craxi Gouda farm cheeses with raw cow’s milk in the traditional way, as has been done for hundreds of years.

What is the price for our 1 year old artisan Gouda farmer’s cheese?
