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.
