Old Amsterdam Classic Half Wheel
Gouda cheese is named after the city of Gouda in the southern part of the country, where it has been made since the Middle Ages.
A typical wheel of Gouda cheese weighs between 10 and 12 kilograms (22 and 26 pounds), so half a wheel would weigh between 5 and 6 kilograms (11 and 13 pounds). This makes it a great option for those who enjoy Gouda cheese but don’t need a large quantity.
Gouda cheese is known for its creamy and nutty flavor, which can vary depending on the age of the cheese. Young Gouda cheese is mild and buttery, while aged Gouda can have a sharper and more complex flavor. Half a wheel of Gouda cheese can be aged for different periods of time, from a few months to several years, to achieve different levels of flavor.
Half a wheel of Gouda cheese is a great option for entertaining, as it can be served on a cheese board with crackers, bread, and fruit. It can also be used in a variety of dishes, such as mac and cheese, grilled cheese sandwiches, and omelets.
When purchasing half a wheel of Gouda cheese, look for a high-quality brand that uses fresh milk and has been aged to your preferred level of flavor. The cheese should have a smooth and firm texture and a rich, nutty aroma.
