In a random LinkedIn search I came upon someone who volunteers to work with traditional gouda makers to improve their products in the Netherlands.

Have some aged Gouda on hand before you look at the Boeren-Goudse Oglegkaas site. Because as you click through and see the shimmering aged gouda with the crystalized little holes of crunchy rich cheese I often say tastes like sherry, even though I don’t drink sherry, you’ll need to nibble, big time.

If you’ve never tried 5 year aged gouda, seek it out. I eat it in slivers. The great diet cheese!
