Goat cheese isn't always fresh, soft, and spreadable. In fact, goat's milk can be made into many styles of cheese, including gouda. Goat gouda is a delight for those who've never had it.

This cheese has no 'funkiness' or gamey flavors that some cheese eaters might expect. Instead it's mellow, smooth, and the perfect balance of sweet and salty. It even has notes of caramel and butterscotch. The texture is firm and sliceable. It's lightly aged, with a minimum of 5 weeks, so it doesn't develop the crunchy crystals of a long-aged gouda.

Perfect in salads or tossed with vegetables as well as melted on toast. It's an excellent addition to a cheese platter, or a casual snack plate with potato chips and fruit.

This Dutch gourmet cheese is also a great starting point for those unfamiliar with goat cheese.

We hand-cut and wrap this cheese in wedges of 1 pound and 7 ounces or you can purchase an entire wheel of approximately 9 pounds.
