We experienced a moment of culinary divinity when we first sampled this Extra Aged Gouda from Beemster. Previously, we doubted that any cheese could be more flavorful than Beemster's 18-month Aged Gouda, but their X.O. indeed sets a new bar. With this 26-month gouda, we first noticed its delicate, brittle texture. After we tasted it, the flavor of butterscotch permeated the palate, followed by alternating waves of whiskey and pecan. Made from pasteurized cow's milk. We cut and wrap this item by hand.
- Imported from North Holland
- Made from cow's milk
