About the cheese

The word Gouda is pronounced by the Dutch as Howda (how da). It is named after the city of Gouda in the West of the Netherlands. This is one of the best-selling and most common cheeses in the entire world.
Only cheese made from clean cow’s milk without any additives, with a fat content of 50% (from dry matter) may be called Gouda. The rest, from goat’s milk for example, will be called Dutch cheeses.

On the table
