Traditional Gouda with a twist. An unusual creamy, washed curd, Gouda cheese with the addition of pungent aromatic cumin seeds giving a warm spicy flavour that blends beautifully with the texture of the cheese. Gouda has been a popular cheese since the 12th century and was shipped to France and further afield. The process of making Gouda, including the washing of the curd, creates an elastic curd and a mellow flavour. Possibly a cheese to enjoy after a spicy Indian or Thai meal to keep the theme going, or enjoy with a Dutch beer.
Please note all cheeses are hand-cut, therefore the weights listed are approximate. We work very hard to cut them as accurately as we can!
