|
|
If you have not tried an aged Gouda, I highly recommend it. It is both sweet and salty at the same time with a hint of butterscotch. I just finished a blog posting about it at http://www.reluctantgourmet.com/blog/ingredients/aged-gouda-cheese/
It details the cheese and talks about my new friend Jack, a very knowledgeable cheese person I met at our local farmers market. I'm hoping to get him aboard to answer you cheese questions.
Check it out. |

| RG: I have to totally agree with you. Cave Aged Gouda (min. 5 yrs) is my FAVORITE cheese...known in our family as cow candy...it's perfect. I use 5 yr cave aged gouda and parm almost interchangeable...they are very similar in texture and saltiness...I love to grate it like parm on top of salads and some pastas for a distinctive flavor. |
