Raw Milk: The Soul of Traditional Dutch Gouda Cheese

The true essence of Dutch Gouda cheese lies in its main ingredient: raw cow’s milk. This unpasteurized and unprocessed milk comes from cows fed on fresh grass from the fertile Dutch lands. Raw milk retains all of its natural enzymes and bacteria, which helps develop a genuine flavor and unique nutritional profile in the cheese. Unlike pasteurized milk, raw milk provides a complexity of flavors and aromas that faithfully reflect the terroir of the cheese farms.

Artisanal Gouda Cheese Production: A Manual and Traditional Process

Artisan cheese makers pass on the art of making authentic Gouda cheese from generation to generation. The process starts with milking the farm’s own cows. They then bring the raw cow’s milk to the cheese production area and apply strict hygiene standards. In the production area they gently heat the milk and add natural rennet to help the milk coagulate. Once the curd is formed, they cut it into small pieces to release the whey.

The next step is washing the curd, where hot water is added to remove part of the whey and adjust the acidity. This process, characteristic of Gouda cheese, contributes to its smooth and creamy texture. Once the curd is washed, it is placed in molds and pressed to remove excess liquid. The cheeses are then soaked in brine, which helps preserve them.

Maturation: The Key to Classic Flavor

After the brine bath, the maturation process begins, ranging from a few weeks to several years. During this time, the farmer stores the cheeses in ripening chambers with controlled temperature and humidity conditions. The younger cheeses, known as soft Gouda, have a mild flavor and soft texture. As the cheese ages, its flavor intensifies and its texture becomes firmer and more crumbly, giving rise to varieties of semi-cured, cured, old and extra old Gouda.

The True Taste of Dutch Gouda Cheese

The taste of authentic Gouda cheese is a symphony of sweet, salty and nutty notes, which intertwine to create a unique culinary experience. Each bite takes you on a sensory journey through the green Dutch meadows, showcasing the dedication and love put into making each piece. This genuine, true flavor is what has made Gouda cheese a favorite around the world.
