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.
