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.
