Traditional artisanal aged Gouda made from raw cow’s milk. Naturally matured for 1, 2 & 3 years with rich flavor and crunchy cheese crystals
Traditional Raw Milk Gouda Cheese Naturally Aged
Discover the depth and complexity of traditional Dutch aged Gouda cheese, crafted by a artisan cheesemaker using raw cow’s milk and time-honored methods. Naturally matured for 1, 2, and 3 years, these exceptional Gouda cheeses develop rich flavors, crunchy protein crystals, and a firm yet creamy texture that true cheese lovers appreciate.
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 Craxi cheese shops in Málaga, Spain.
Aged Gouda cheese with 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
