Rich, buttery, salty, and strong, but not too strong. It's a semi soft, raw cow's milk cheese aged for 9 months. This Dutch cheese has a nice bold aged flavor but not as strong as a similar aged Gruyere. There are these great little crystals that some good aged cheese has. They give it just a little crunch which is nice. I'm no stranger to Gouda and this is a unique and excellent example. Definitely more interesting then your average Gouda. With much more depth to it as well. Overall, strong enough to let you know its a serious aged cheese but not overly so. Absolutely worth a try.
